Cemeteries and Burial Customs

[carbacca]

doing some browsing on where my grandad is buried (荃灣華人永遠墳場) and is run by the 華人永遠墳場管理委員會 (The Board of Management of The Chinese Permanent Cemeteries). found they had published a book that covers the history of the cemeteries and there is a section on cantonese burial customs, book is available online. Unfortunately chinese only......
