Funerary customs change with the times, and of course many are no longer suitable for modern society. For example, the rules requiring people to withdraw from life for three years of mourning, or to leave coffins in their homes for months, clearly cannot survive in Taiwan's hot and hectic society.
喪葬禮俗隨著時代在演變，有許多當然不再合適現代社會，比如說守喪三年之制，或是停殯數月的規定，根本不能在炎熱又忙碌的台灣社會裡存在。
