Dear Wasis,

1. In my opinion, there should not be any issues if you are making a visit on your very auspicious day.

2. What you mentioned would dwell more towards superstitions or beliefs.

3. Overall, all of us would leave this earth eventually and in my opinion, paying respect by making a visit is `neutral'.

4. Some Chinese would prefer to pay a visit in the evening rather than the day time so that after the visit, they can go home and get a bath. (Symbolic of cleaning ourselves).

5. For those who have not visited a Chinese funeral, many would have seen short red strings on the `tib-bit' plate.

For example, `visitors' are offered a plate of peanuts and sweet and red strings are placed on the plate. Many `visitors' would then take a red string and later, dispose of it when they are out of the funeral area. This is just a practise.

For those who are pregnant, the belief is best not to pay a visit. Nor it is advisable to bring a child unless it is their immediate relative (of the deceased). Again, another belief.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
