Ah gong's funeral was a simple one. The burning of the paper money and paper lotus that we folded was only done once and that is today. We have to make sure that all the paper money and lotus are being burnt to complete ashes and we cannot use a stick to rummage through. So the only way we can do is to turn the bin to see if everything has been burnt to ash. Some of the paper lotus below wasn't burnt yet as the papers were too thick so lucky we checked.
Vegetarian chicken, duck and crab. Made from peanuts.
The cremation was done at 光明山普觉禅寺。Unlike at the Mandai Crematorium whereby everyone was made to see the whole process of the coffin being pushed into furnace, the process here is some prayers being said by the monks and somebody asked us to throw away our socks and during the time when we throw away the socks, the coffin was pushed in already. This greatly relieved off some sadness and crying.
