MummyJay Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Dear Master Lee, Thank you for your reply. I have a general question regarding ancestor table at home. Can we worship both the husband and wife side ancestor in the same house but in 2 different ancestor table ie 1 ancestor table next to the main god and another ancestor table in the dining room? Please advise. Thank you in advance for your help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please advise. Thank you in advance for your help. Here are a few factors to take into account: 1. Ideally, a specific altar should have an even number of Gods for prayers, often 1, 3, or 5 deities. 2. Ancestor tablets are not considered gods, so there are usually no restrictions on the number placed on an altar table. 3. It is preferable to separate positions for ancestor tablets from different families, although they can still be in the same space, separated by a partition or spaced out. A highest ranking? A Matriach? Is there a female head of the household present? 3.1. However, it is important to consider if there is a high-ranking family member or matriarch overseeing the home. 3.2. Approval from such a person may be necessary. 4. It is advisable to discuss with family members to determine if the arrangement is acceptable to all. 5. Even if outsiders suggest otherwise, family members' opinions should take precedence. 6. In the case of cremation, an urn with ashes is considered "Ashes to ashes," and any remaining ashes are considered neutral. 7. This is why in many columbariums, niches can be stacked as high as 10 stories or more without issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MummyJay Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Dear Master Lee, Thank you again for your prompt reply. Does it mean as long as there is no objection from other family members, it is ok to worship 2 ancestors from different family? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
