In Chinese culture, the use of red and yellow drawstring bags to hold ashes before transferring them to an urn carries significant symbolic meanings:
- Red Bags: Red is associated with good fortune, happiness, and celebration. Often used in festive occasions such as weddings and the Lunar New Year. Hence, a red bag for ashes symbolises a respectful and auspicious send-off for the deceased, reflecting hope for good luck in the afterlife.
- Yellow Bags: Yellow is traditionally linked to the earth and is considered a sacred color. It often represents wealth and prosperity. A yellow bag signifies a connection to the earthly realm, honouring the deceased by providing a dignified resting place.
Please note
Price is for one drawstring bag. These bags honor Chinese funerary traditions, showing respect for the deceased as they transition to the afterlife. Please note that, while these drawstring bags serve a symbolic purpose, it is advisable to first place the ashes in a sealed plastic bag before placing them in the drawstring bag. The drawstring bag containing the sealed ashes can then be placed inside the urn.
