flowers for my Dad - a photo on Flickriver

flowers for my Dad

            This series is dedicated to my dear father who very sadly passed away this week on Monday 11 March 2019 after battling illness for more than a year. The funeral parlour and service were quite beautiful and moving and I hope to share a little of the local Chinese culture and traditions involved. 

At a traditional Chinese wake, joss/incense sticks would be burnt and offered to the deceased. However, to be more environment-friendly and to enable guests of other faiths and religions to partake in the offerings, flowers were used here instead. Each person would pick up a plate with a flower, bow three times in front of a portrait of my father, and then place the flower on top of water in a big bowl on the altar.
