Are the elderly who died during the Ghost Festival okay?

It is neither good nor bad if an old person dies during the Ghost Festival. After all, everyone is born, grows old, gets sick and dies, and this is the law of nature.
In some places, it is believed that it is not good to die during the Ghost Festival, because the gates of hell are wide open during the Ghost Festival and will not close until the end of the month. Therefore, people who die during this period may not be able to enter the underworld if they miss the opportunity, and are called wandering ghosts.
Of course, this is just a superstitious belief among the people in ancient times. After all, whether it is the Ghost Festival or any other day, the death of an elderly person is something that cannot be helped. As relatives, we don’t have to think too much about it. We just need to do our part and let the deceased leave in a dignified manner.

Can a funeral be held for an elderly person who passed away during the Ghost Festival?

Funerals can be held on the Ghost Festival. There is no saying that funerals cannot be held, but there are still some rules to follow.
1. The date for the funeral should be either the sunrise, the 3rd, the 5th, the 7th, or the 49th, but an even day cannot be chosen. 2. The day of burial and funeral must not only be compatible with the immortal destiny and the direction of the mountain, but also must not conflict with family members, especially descendants. 3. The day mentioned in the almanac must be suitable for breaking ground. When choosing an auspicious day, be sure not to choose a day that is extremely unlucky, such as Tai Sui, a heavy funeral, the Three Evils, or a repetition of an ominous day.
4. Based on the principle of the five elements of generation, restraint and transformation, it is auspicious if it is compatible with the owner of fortune, and it is ominous if it is not. If the days are healthy and prosperous, with proper growth, restraint and transformation, without conflict or damage, and with proper support and assistance, it is auspicious; if it is not, it is ominous. In other words, the day chosen for burial must be prosperous for the owner.
