the final send off

It was raining on the last day of funeral. We gathered at the altar to chant for the last time. While chanting, we were asked to walk around the coffin. At this moment, i felt alittle sad. Sad that I will not be able to see this old lady the next time I visit the temple. We moved on to the Mandai Cremation and Columbarium. Its my 1st time in this place. The most overwhelming part was when we were at the viewing hall. The coffin auotmatically move towards the furnace. This process was a little disturbing. I could not bare to see it go into the furnace thus I bend down my head with my hands clasped together and just wish that my grandma will be well in the other land.
