What are Ancestor Pedestals?

Ancestor pedestals are commonly known as memorial tablets or spirit tablets. It is a physical symbolization of the deceased spirit. The concept of spirit tablets dates back to old Chinese traditions where it is considered to be of pivotal importance in Chinese homes.

The concept of the ancestor tablet is also connected with the urns. Urns, after being placed, should not be moved unless a reallocation is required. People can refer to the spirit tablets during praying instead of the urns as tablets are portable. Ancestor tablets were traditionally made from wood. Size and shape may vary but now mostly rectangle-shaped tablets are made. But now, different materials are also used as glass, marble, jade, and plastic. It is now accepted among people. Here in Nirvana Memorial Garden, we offer Crystal Pedestal which gives the long traditional a uplifted and modern look.

Significance of Ancestor Tablets:

Chinese believe that a person has three souls. One stays in the body in the grave, the other passes to the afterlife, and the third resides in a sacred object, the ancestor tablet. Chinese believe that their ancestors will come and look at them, giving blessings to the family. Creating an ancestor tablet is offering their elders respect and dignity.

Some Chinese families dedicate an area for ancestor hall, while others might install the tablet in their homes, temples, or memorial places.
