What are the rules for burial during the Great Cold?

Choosing an auspicious date for burial

The Great Cold solar term itself is a good day for burial, but we also need to choose an auspicious day for burial based on the specific circumstances. The common method of determining the burial date across the country is to require that the body be buried within 3 or 7 days after cremation. This is called "resting in peace." Therefore, we can check the lunar calendar of the past 7 days to see which day is an auspicious day for burial.

Preparations before burial

1) Bring along the burial notice you requested.
2) Prepare the sacrificial supplies.
3) If the ashes are stored in a cemetery, please bring the receipt for collecting the ashes.
