Can I take pictures of the remains of old people who died at home?

There is a folk saying that photographs are not allowed in the mourning hall. Why you can't take pictures:

It is said that taking photos in the mourning hall will leave a shadow on the deceased, and the soul of the deceased will not rest in peace, and will not be reincarnated and become a lonely soul. Taking pictures in front of the mourning hall, the living will be entangled with the dead. The dead already belong to another world, and it is unlucky for the living to get entangled with them, and it is easy to get sick.

After taking photos in the mourning hall and putting them behind you, it is easy to feel sad every time you see them, and it is difficult for the living to get out of the sad mood. The mourning hall is a serious place, and the click of photos is easy to destroy the atmosphere on the mourning hall. Hearing the click, the mourning hall instantly became an entertainment place, showing no respect for the dead.

What can't be left after death.

1. clothes: it is best not to leave clothes, because the illness and yin of the deceased are left on it. If you leave these clothes, it will have a negative impact on your family, and you will get sick easily. When the deceased dies, their clothes can be disinfected and thrown away, or recycled after disinfection, or directly burned.

2. Favorite things: the deceased must have loved things before his death, such as small teapots and pipes. These things of low value and great significance to the deceased can't be left behind, but they can't be thrown away at will. The best way to deal with it is to bury these little things together when burying the dead.

3. Portrait: The portrait of the deceased must not be left behind. Some people like to sacrifice the portrait of the deceased at home or store it in their mobile phones, but these practices are wrong. After a reasonable date of sacrifice, the portrait should be sealed or burned, and it should not be left in the mobile phone or put on the bright surface.
