Why is it forbidden for the dead to take the elevator? What are the taboos for the deceased to take the elevator?

Recently, Xu Apo, who lives in Huiyun Jiayuan, Huishan District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, was very angry. Her 95-year-old mother, Mrs. Gu, died not long ago, but the day before the funeral on June 9, her family actually saw a notice prohibiting the deceased from taking the elevator on the first floor. In desperation, the family had to take the stairs to remove the coffin from the 17 floor.

Notice posted by residents

On June 8, the day before Mrs. Gu's funeral, Mrs. Gu's family found a notice downstairs. The notice said, "Everyone in this building is dead, so we have to take the stairs. Never take the elevator downstairs. Huiyun Jiayuan/KLOC-Building 0/5, June 8, 20 18 ". Xu Apo told the reporter of Modern Express, "The notice was posted on June 8, and we have already planned to take the freight elevator."

Yunjiayuan 15 Building Downstairs

On the evening of June 8, in order to discuss whether the body should take the elevator, Xu Apo called all the family members to have a family meeting at home. Some people advocate taking the freight elevator directly. "There is no regulation prohibiting the body from taking the elevator. Originally, the stairs in this building were very narrow, and the coffin was heavy and big, which not only caused damage to the coffin, but also made the safety of the coffin bearers very important. " Some people also advocate taking stairs. Xu Apo told the reporter of Modern Express, "My mother was a kind-hearted person before her death, and she didn't blame anyone. Although their demands are unreasonable, we don't want the old lady to be gossiped after she dies. " After discussion, the family finally decided to take the stairs.

Gu's bed will be donated to those in need.

The decision was made, but how can the coffin be carried downstairs? Mrs. Gu's eldest son-in-law, Yang Laobo, told the reporter of Modern Express, "Our family members are very filial and have prepared a big and heavy coffin for the elderly. The decoration on it is also very rich, and there is a phoenix. It is troublesome to take it downstairs. Nowadays, professional coffin bearers are old, and they don't have the strength to carry coffins like this in their sixties and seventies. There is no way, so we have to let the young people at home take two pallbearers and a dozen people take turns to carry them down. "

Although all the preparations have been made, there are still many problems on the day of the funeral. Xu Apo introduced that the corridor of the residential building is very narrow and the coffin is very big. It's easy to bump into at the corner. "The accessories on the coffin were damaged, and the people who carried the coffin were very tired. When I think about it at home, I really think there is a large freight elevator in the building. Why can't the deceased use it? "

Community 15 stairs

To this end, the reporter of Modern Express contacted the residential property. The property told the reporter, "Our property has no right to force any residents in the community not to take the elevator, but whether this elevator can be used by the deceased depends on whether the residents in their building agree. Maybe some residents in building 15 still care, so they posted such a notice. "

After investigation by the reporter of Modern Express, it was found that the residents of this residential area 15 have different opinions. "I don't mind them taking the elevator. Who do you think won't die? However, there must be an alloy war that official website people are afraid of. Like some young people and women, it is estimated that they will mind a little. " Of course, some people object to the dead taking the elevator. "We have to take the elevator to and from work every day. Their families have all died, and we are always a little scared when we get out of the elevator. Besides, people have died in this building before. Will it be different for people above 20 floors to take the stairs? "

The community is equipped with freight elevators and passenger elevators.

In this regard, Gu Laotai's husband, 98-year-old Uncle Xu, looked at Gu Laotai's portrait and said with tears: "People will die one day. We estimate that there are many elderly people in this kind of housing. Does everyone have to take the stairs when they die? This is disrespect for the dead! If you can't move the body downstairs, isn't this building a huge grave? " Yang Laobo said that if someone dies in other buildings, he can take the elevator, but only 15 floor can't. "I want to find the person who posted the notice. I hope he can stand up and apologize for my mother-in-law's portrait."
