Throughout Chinese history, cremation has been met with a veil of taboo. Cultural and religious beliefs associated with burying the dead have held sway, leading to a stark contrast in funeral practices between China and other countries. However, in the 21st century, China has witnessed a gradual shift in attitudes toward cremation, transforming the landscape of death care.<\/p>\n

This belief has historically underpinned the aversion to cremation.
