Mum has finally bought her niche

[Mr Duck]

To me i rather crush my bones into powder pour with water into the soil case closed. You buy niche after 30 years no people visit you and times comes for renewal never settle all will also just mixed together throw don't know where.

wow...8.4k not cheap

My dad's $13k , $5k for the spirit tablet

She is against this method as she said the spirit will wander around in the sea, like homeless

Got strong attachment/view to body/ashes/niche will surely become ghosts.. must change the thinking and practise non-attachment/donation/good deeds and aim for the higher, blissful realms like the heavens.

why buy niche ?
my late parents hv their own fb & gmail
fate book & gonemail address
if anything i just fb or gm them can liao

Think Chinese pple got wrong understanding & perception, thinking the dead will surely come back as ghosts and they have to pray to them and offer food.

Just pay respects only mah.. If don't want to put pictures, can use something else as object like the things they use or just form their images in the mind and pay respects.

No space in our 3r flat, even the fridge is in the living room

Can put their pictures in your house & pay respects to them everyday mah..

Think nowadays no one put picture one. But if put ancestor tablet, need to regularly pray, especially during festive. So, if don't have the determination, not easy put at home.

How old is she?

68

She prefers to spend money to buy an assurance
I did told her why spend so much on a niche ,died liao means the end in the mortal world, she said the urn is like a home for her bones and ashes

 

[sunsetbay]

Change name on the tablet needs $400~?

 

[C_boliao]

Actually all these only last at most 2 generation. After that people will just stop visiting.

Its really for more the people close to the deceased. Not for generations.

Add name on it ,that was what she was told by the in charge

 

[ramlee]

I prefer returning my ashes back to nature. It feels strange to be cooped up in an urn.

And then get disposed after 60 years

Nooooooooo

need to wait for 8 hours let your soul settle down before burning. Otherwise will field very painful

Actually I once heard a Taoist medium share that the soul will break into pieces in different direction. Cannot go next life. Apparently only those monks very high learning one can do this method and stay in one piece.
