The Hong Kong Food and Environmental Hygiene Department is planning to introduce coffins made of recycled paper, which have multiple advantages over the traditional wooden coffins in terms of funeral cost, time and energy consumption. True indeed like here in the Philippines. Good for those who passed away they have no more worries. Burden and worry are passed to the loved ones left. Talking about dying in this country is expensive. Filipinos need to have at least 5-7 days wake or more depending on the distance of their relatives to come home and pay respect to their dead. The process of burying is expensive too. You must have a lot or a space in the cemetery.

An alternative is available like cremation. Based on our experience, cremation is quite expensive too…

I have been longing to post about the cremation of my father. He died four months ago with a nasopharyngeal carcinoma. He suffered from the disease for almost 3 years since the doctor diagnosed it. Before he died he told us what he wants during his wake and funeral. From his clothes he will wear, to the to the snacks be served, even up to his gravesites location on our farm.  Just now I have the guts to share about my fathers cremation. I will share some photos the day he was cremated.

We waited for 3 hours to complete the whole process. The man was making sure everything is incinerated.

Contrary to popular belief, the cremated remains are not ashes in the usual sense, but rather dried bone fragments that have been pulverized in a device called an electric cremated remains processor. The pulverized bone fragments weighed only 2 kilos.
