reburial ceremony in Lukang. about thirteen years ago, this relative died, and recently he was exhumed and his bones were cleaned and dried and placed in a large vase (the light blue one). he was brought to this new grave site (next to his father's grave). this is his new home. the porcelein is better vessel for him (and leak proof). food is brought as an offering. incense and ghost money is burned. feng shui is followed. we bai-bai (prayed) to his memory. this is celebratory event. we had a large banquet at a restaurant afterwards with about 80 friends and relatives.
