Why is the crematorium no longer cremating the remains after 3 p.m.?When many people see this system, their first reaction is because of the heavy yin qi. From a superstitious point of view, the peak of yang energy is from morning to noon, and once it is past 3 p.m., yang energy will gradually weaken and be replaced by yin energy. Therefore, people feel that cremation of the body when the yin qi is strong is unlucky, and there may be some strange phenomena, or some negative effects on the family of the deceased.
So is that really the case?In fact, there is a scientific explanation for why the crematorium is no longer cremated after 3 o'clock. First of all, because most people will set the time of the funeral during the day, almost no one will choose to go out at night, so the body will be cremated before the funeral, that is to say, people will choose to cremate in the morning and noon, and basically no one will come to cremate the body in the afternoon, so the crematorium simply chooses to get off work after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
There are other reasons for choosing this time, on the one hand, to leave ample time for the crematorium to be overhauled and prepare for the next day's work. On the other hand, it makes the most sense to let the staff clean the hearth, starting at 3 p.m., because no one wants to do this kind of work late in the middle of the night.
In addition, not all crematoriums implement the system of leaving work at 3 p.m., and there are still some places where the body is cremated 24 hours a day, so the so-called no cremation of the body after 3 p.m. is not caused by superstition at all.
