In my previous post, I shared the experience of exhuming my grandfather’s remains before they were sent for cremation. After the contractors carefully cleaned the bones, they were taken to the crematorium for the next stage of the journey. But what happens after cremation?
What I am sharing here is based solely on the experiences of my uncle and a close friend. These are Chinese funeral customs that some families continue to practise after cremation. They are shared here purely for reference, as traditions vary greatly between countries, cultures, and religions. Not every Chinese family follows the same rituals, and practices may differ depending on dialect group, beliefs, and personal preferences.
