In some cultures, particularly Asian, the family is the core social unit with elders (and obviously, ancestors) playing a central role in maintaining family unity and traditions. On the extreme, if you dishonor your family/ancestors, you are a 'nobody', a pariah.
It's a concept probably difficult for (some) Western people to understand.
/"Western people to understand this": Not being condescending.
