In the almanac, each day has its own zodiac animal, and the animal opposite it in the zodiac cycle is said to clash with that day. People born in that animal's year are traditionally advised to stay away from the event. Add a birthday on this site and it drops the days that clash with that animal, and you can add several family members.
Practice varies, but families often ask an elder, a funeral director, or someone who reads the almanac. The almanac gives a list of favorable days, and the family then picks among them. This site gives you that list to bring to the conversation.
Practical matters usually come first, such as the cemetery's schedule, the funeral home, and when relatives can travel. Many families treat the almanac as a guide and choose from the favorable days that fit those limits. Having several dates to pick from makes that easier.
