Whereto place urn of deadfamily members(grandfather, grandmother, father)? Is it ok to place them inside the house ? If so, which sector of the house?

These are some of the considerations:

 

1. It also depends on culture and race.

 

2. For example, the traditional Chinese family, will never place an urn of a beloved dead family member in our home. The most we do is in it's place an ancestor tablet.

3. Of course, must discount some modern Chinese animal lovers who may keep their family pet's urn. Otherwise, we simply don't place an urn of dead family member(s) in our home.

4. Perhaps, you could follow some of the commonsense and practices:

4.1. We avoid placing the altar sharing the same wall as the toilet.

4.2. Often the best place for an altar is where it sits "peacefully" overlooking a window etc... Here, the Chinese term is "sitting on mountain (solid wall) facing water (an open view).

4.3. For the Indians or Hindus, often they have a room e.g. such as a modified store room to house all their gods.

4.4. Best that the urn do not face a kitchen or a bedroom of sorts.

4.5. There are many more considerations such as even the height, depth and width of the "altar table".

5. More importantly, go with your heart, usually instinctively most of us would have a good feel where to place the urns.

6. Lastly, cremation (turning to ashes) is considered a neutral thing. Thus, this is why, some simply scatter the ashes into the sea.
