What are the taboos regarding funerals and burials?

Burial ceremonies were originally mostly based on burial, but due to limited burial sites, cremation gradually became a trend, and the cremation process is basically carried out in the same way as the burial ceremony.
If a time for cremation is chosen appropriately and registration is done with the crematorium in advance, the deceased will be offered sacrifices by the bereaved family before cremation. After cremation, the family members will personally witness the crematorium staff picking the bones into the urn, so "cremation" is equivalent to burial.
The filial son needs to choose a time to carry the urn into the pagoda, and offer sacrifices in front of the pagoda first. Since the pagodas are mostly in the shape of the Eight Diagrams, the orientation should be chosen properly, and the urn (or bone jar if bones have been picked) should be moved into the pagoda at the chosen time. After the sacrifices, the ceremony is completed.

What are the taboos on the second day of the Lunar New Year?

1. Avoid odd numbers when returning to one’s parents’ home <br /> On the second day of the Lunar New Year, married daughters will bring their husbands and children back to their parents’ home to pay New Year’s greetings. On this day, the daughter who returns to her parents' home must bring some gifts and red envelopes to distribute to the children in her parents' home, and have lunch at her parents' home. When a daughter returns to her parents' home it is taboo to bring an odd number of gifts, as odd numbers are traditionally considered unlucky, and the gifts a son-in-law brings back to his parents' home must be in pairs.
2. Avoid washing clothes <br /> Do not wash clothes on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year. Legend has it that these two days are the birthdays of the water god, so do not wash clothes.
