Funeral

Yesterday evening the old Indian woman neighbour passed away. She had both of the kidneys failure. Most of the relatives and friends came by car and motorbikes to pay for the last respect to this old neighbour. They started to set up a few of the white roof tents infront of the house and served the foods for the visitors. Prayers also non-stop. The family was very busy until late at night.

This morning they had the prayers too.

Just now in the afternoon, they started to do the flowers arrangement again. Many big garlands had been arranged. Just before the funeral, I heard the many big crakers playing sound. Adopted the local Chinese custom ? They also invited the Indian traditional music group to play the music for the funeral ceremony. Every one pray and pay the last respect before walked and followed at the back of the coffin with body to the juction of the road.

The close relatives to the death old woman wore the not so striking colour of clothes and with the black half transparent shawls. However, I observed they were many who wore the striking colour clothes and high heel too.

In the juction they put the coffin into the van and prayed again. Then the relatives and friends use the own vehicles to follow the death body van to the cemetary. The ceremony temporary end for this session. Next there will be some prayers ceremonies to be perform in the house.
