Is it good luck to be the one who burys the elderly?

It is the duty and responsibility of every child to see their elderly parents to the end of their lives. However, some people believe that seeing their elderly parents to the end of their lives will affect their own fortunes. So, are those who see their elderly parents to the end of their lives lucky? What's the saying? Let’s find out together!

Is it good luck for people who see off old people?

As the saying goes, "filial piety comes first among all virtues", and seeing off the elderly will bring good luck to yourself.
Chinese people have always attached great importance to having a good beginning and a good end. Only when the elderly have all their children around at the end of their lives can they leave without regrets and without worries, which has a good effect on the family's fortune. Children usually do the funeral. When an elderly person is about to pass away, he or she will look at all the people in the family and also say one thing: his or her own. Having children see the elderly person off is a sign of filial piety and also a way for the elderly to have a good death.
In the past, only sons could see their parents off to the afterlife, but now daughters can also do so. Many families now have only one child, with only one daughter. If the daughter does not see her off to the afterlife, then there really is no one left to do so. It is generally better for an elderly person to die in his or her own home, which is what people call a blessing. When an elderly person finds out that he or she cannot be saved, he or she will usually ask to return home. Only if he or she dies at home can his or her soul enter the house.
The death of an elderly person is a normal death, and the elderly are generally kind and will bless those who see them off to the end.

Taboos when an elderly person dies in the family

1. During the mourning period, it is taboo to visit relatives and friends, especially to attend weddings. Within 100 days after the death of an immediate family member, it is best to observe mourning at home. Unless necessary, do not travel, visit relatives and friends, etc., so as not to bring your sadness to others. It is best not to attend happy events, especially weddings, business openings, celebrations of the birth of a baby, etc.
2. During the mourning period, children should avoid wearing red or green. During the period of mourning, children in ancient times were required to wear white mourning clothes for the first 100 days. After the 100 days, they were required to wear dark-colored clothes such as black and blue to observe the mourning period. It was taboo to wear red or green or put on heavy makeup. In modern society, although due to work and life reasons, many friends do not wear mourning clothes for such a long time, and wear mourning characters instead; however, you still cannot wear red with green.
3. You cannot have your hair cut during mourning.
4. Stay away from scandals within three years. This means that both the couplets and the clothes you wear should be kept away from the color red. Everyone can understand not putting up Spring Festival couplets, because after all, there has just been a funeral in the family, and the red color of the Spring Festival couplets conflicts with the funeral, so it is naturally prohibited. There may be some things you need to pay attention to when dressing, but some may not care. It depends on your own understanding.
5. It is taboo to die without any relatives around. In our traditional concepts, we attach great importance to passing on the family line. When a teacher passes away, he hopes that his descendants will be able to see him off to the end. In this way, the old man will not be lonely after he is gone, and he will not have to worry about things in the underworld, and his soul can rest in peace.
6. In a family where a funeral is held, white cloth or white paper should be hung on the door to let people know that someone in the family has died. The family should also be informed of the death, and relatives from other places should also be informed. Informing relatives of the death should be done with special caution.
