How to get rid of bad luck after a funeral

1. Don't go home directly after attending a funeral. Go shopping in a crowded shopping mall first to use the positive energy of the crowds to dilute the bad luck before going home. Or there may be some religious places for practice such as Buddhist temples or Taoist temples nearby, such as the City God Temple or the Earth God Temple. You can go in and burn incense and worship before going home to get rid of the bad luck you picked up from the funeral, and then go home.
2. When leaving a funeral, avoid saying goodbye to your family members. Also, don't say goodbye to each other if you are going to the funeral with friends, as this is unlucky. Also, bring red envelopes with you when attending a funeral. Put some rice and salt in the bag. Rice and salt have the function of warding off evil spirits. After leaving, it is best to use up the money, salt and rice that you used to attend the funeral.
3. After returning home from a funeral, it is taboo to hug a child directly without taking off the clothes you wore to the funeral. You should change your clothes first and then do housework.
