Chinese funeral

There are so many China-originated people in Singapore so many of the community is like a Chinatown. I saw residents display many kinds of lucky charms on the wall or the door, Chinese Buddhist temples and people practicing yoga thing in the community center.

In Chinese tradition when someone passes away, their family keeps the body for 3-5 days so that the friends and relatives can visit them. their friends and relatives attach many towels and blankets to make a big "banner" and put messages on it saying like "Rest In Peace", "You will never be forgotten". The banner is several meters long and they display it outside their flat. After the funeral, they can use take the towels and blankets apart and use them.

Quite interesting custom, totally different from what Japanese people do.
