Heaven can wait, but you can't

".... in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
— Benjamin Franklin

"Death is a topic that most people avoid talking about.  First edition of this date-selection course had no coverage of burial.  A few years later a table on when to do burial is added.  Not until last year (2018) when there were two cases of a friend's family had 2 inter-generational deaths within a month, had alarmed me about the importance of date-selection for burial.  I had the burial data of only one of the two cases.  What had happened was the first burial date had clashed a family member's animal sign. That person had died of a sudden brain hemorrhage in a few weeks. 

Burial and funeral date-selection are a huge topic within date-selection which would take a few months to learn.  In this chapter, the goal is not finding the best dates and location for burial because this requires extensive Bazi and Feng Shui knowledge.  The simple goal is to AVOID using the most negative days for burial.  It is more for the safety of the surviving relatives of the deceased than enhancing prosperity.  No negative event happened to your client is as good as not losing money (and lives) for him/ her." 

The above paragraphs are the introduction of a new chapter on funeral added in my "Practical Date-selection Methods" course.  No one can escape choosing a date for funeral eventually.  My goal is to prevent deaths due to inauspicious date-selection of funeral dates.  I know not everyone can afford my course or hire a Feng Shui master to do the selection for them.  Hence I put the summary of this chapter on funeral date-selection here: 

For the deceased:
* Do not choose a funeral/ burial day that clash the animal sign of the deceased
* Do not choose a funeral/ burial day that clash the day-pillar of the deceased
* Do not bury the deceased in the sitting mountain of the deceased animal sign 

For the living close relatives of the deceased 
* Do not use a funeral/ burial day that clash the animal sign of any close relative
* Do not use the Month Breaker day月破日
* Do not use the Double Deaths day重喪日
* Do not use the Triple Deaths day 喪日

Avoid "Double Deaths" days for funerals 重丧日

It is not unusual to read from the news that some families have serial or multiple deaths within a short period of time-- whether due to natural or tragic causes or both.

Besides explanations of bad luck, destiny or misfortune, one possible reason is something goes wrong with the funeral date.

In Chinese date-selection, there are days deemed "double-deaths" (重丧日) days.  If a deceased family member was buried in one of this "double-deaths" days, at least one more death will likely happen within a year.

The follow days are the "double-deaths" dates.  They are in terms of lunar month and days in binomials.  Check the appendix below shows how you can check if a funeral date is a double-deaths day.

Avoid a "double-deaths" day for funeral like plaque.

The following lists the double-deaths days in terms of the 12 lunar months:

If you have avoided a double-deaths day because of this blog article, please make a donation to your local charity or do an act of kindness to anyone you like.  This will cancel out any karma debt incurred between you and me or the universe.

APPENDIX: how to check if your funeral date is a double-deaths day
1.  Log into http://bazi-calculator.com/
2.  Type in the possible funeral date; hour optional
3.  For gender, choose "M" (male)
3.  Click "Calculate" button
4.  Ignore the table on the right, just look at the left "Birth Chart".
4.  Counting from RIGHT to left, Check the lower box of  the second column.  This is the month box.  For example,  August 20, 2016 (see photo here), month is "Shen" or monkey.
4.  Check the third "Day" column of the table in the left side-- example here shows a "jia-xu" day.
5.  This column shows if your possible funeral day is one of the 6 double-deaths days shown in your target month here.  By checking "Shen month" above, we found Jia-xu day is one of the 6 double-death days.
