Lin, who feels that Chinese funerals are secular enough as it is, would like to see reforms that give more emphasis to the sacredness of the event. Cemetery design could reflect religious notions of the next world, and there could be more participation by religious groups in the funeral rites themselves, so as to properly manifest the nature of the event.
更何況中國的喪禮原本就具有濃厚的世俗性，林谷芳期待今天的殯葬改革，往神聖性傾斜一點，在墓園設計上具有宗教彼岸世界的再現，在儀禮方面有更多宗教團體加入，才更足以具現生死的關照。
