House near a cemetery [Residence adjacent to a graveyard.]

[myfs_93591]

My friend is considering buying a lakefront home near a cemetery. He thinks that dead people make good quiet neighbors, but I am wondering how living near a cemetery will affect his resale value. When I sold my home in a nearby neighborhood, a significant number of potential buyers were interested in Feng Shui. Please advise.

Dear Anon,

1. This question is quite intriguing.

2. For the Chinese, many of our burial sites (past, present) have been Feng Shuied as very auspicious locations.

3. This is due to the belief that since the Ching and Ming dynasty, burying ancestors in choice sites will bring good luck for the descendants.

4. However, there is a catch - a good burial site does not always remain excellent. For instance, the surroundings may be altered by human activities such as construction, removal of soil, or ploughing down a hill or mountain to make way for construction.

5. In Singapore, many of the best auspicious sites were chosen for burial in the past:

5.1 For example: Orchard road - opposite Tangs / Marriot hotel. The current site where the Orchard road MRT is; used to be an auspicious burial site.

5.2 Bishan - parts of Bishan: this used to be an auspicious burial site.

5.3 Yishun and Tampines - these used to be auspicious sites. In fact, my grandfather was buried at an auspicious site in Tampines. But it was repossessed by the government in the 1970's and rebuilt.

6. If all the graves are properly exhumed and cleared, such sites can be inhabited by humans (yang Feng Shui) and will still be considered auspicious.

7. It is believed that there is no issue with living close to the dead, especially if they lived a long life and died of old age.

8. Personally, I don't see any issue with living close to grave sites, as some people actually prefer it.

9. In fact, this is very common for churches, where the dead are often buried in grounds next to the church. If there is any 'sin' in having it close to people, then it is more in one's mind than anything else.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM 

 

BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM

No wonder, Feng Shui suffers from a bad reputation, today

Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store. Their core business is not authentic Feng Shui.
But rather making big bucks by selling lots of useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui.

Please give me a good reason not to buy such products. Here's one:

Okay, the above was written prior to the knowledge of COV-19. Here’s to another reason, why.

Many Feng Shui Masters and their shops are FAKES!

P.S. Frankly, I was just being extremely polite. Actually if one got the hint, as the British always say just throw the "bloody" thing away!

ASK! MUST I BUY FROM YOU?

 

When the buying Stops! The selling Can!

 

Yes! Ask: "Must I buy from YOU?"
