What are the rules for dying on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?

Whether there are any special rules for dying on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year depends mainly on local customs and habits. Customs and habits vary from region to region, which leads to different rules and regulations.
In some areas, those who die before the tenth day of the first lunar month will be buried in secrecy, that is, the funeral will not be announced to the public until after the New Year, which is after the tenth day of the first lunar month.
So the specifics also need to look at the local customs and habits.
1. Report the death of an elderly person
After the body of the deceased is laid to rest, a "yin and yang" master is quickly invited to estimate the time of the "calamity", the date of mourning, the funeral and burial, the "seventh day", the hundredth day, the anniversary, etc., based on the time when the deceased breathed his last. These dates are then listed on white paper and posted on the wall, and the funeral ceremonies are carried out as scheduled.
2. Elderly people should be dressed when they die
When the deceased is dying, relatives will shave the men's heads, comb the women's hair, wash them, and do cosmetic surgery. One must put on shroud clothes before dying. Firstly, it is not easy to wear them after death, and secondly, if one puts them on after death, it means that one will die naked and will still have no clothes in the underworld. Most funeral clothes are prepared early.
3. When an elderly person dies, the bed should be kept closed.
After the dying person has put on his or her shroud, he or she should be moved from the bedroom to the main room of the living room, which will serve as the formal place for the dying person to bid farewell to this world for the last time. Relatives will stay by his or her side to allow him or her to pass away peacefully. This is what people often call "dying of old age."
4. Send off the dead elderly
When the elderly are seriously ill and on their deathbed, they are usually sentimental and worried about their children and relatives. At this time, the children at home should serve their parents day and night, never leaving their side, and they should also send messages to the children outside, urging them to return home as soon as possible.

How do you say "wishing someone a good rest" when they pass away?

1. Send beautiful flowers to your loved ones in heaven and leave words of blessing. May you be happy.
2. Do your best! Leave the rest to fate! Everything has a beginning and an end in the end! Just go with the flow.
3. Birth, aging, sickness and death are natural phenomena. Be patient and accept the changes! Take care of yourself.
4. I was shocked to hear that your parents passed away. I am deeply saddened. I hope you will be patient and accept my condolences.
5. When mother is alive, “having elderly parents” is a superficial burden. When mother is gone, “being left without parents” is an essential loneliness.
6. I don’t know what the coming of winter means. Am I looking forward to something? Am I looking forward to future happiness and joy? Or should I continue to wait and wander alone in this pale world?
