Wat Po - A funeral service

Nearing the end of the service the family gathered for this portrait. You can see the photo of the woman who passed on an easel in the center of the group. After the portrait they all gathered on the other side of the temple and had a little bonfire of symbolic items all made out of tissue paper. I'm guessing that they are sort of things for her to take with her. They had a life-sized fridge made from tissue paper, a microwave, a vanity table, amongst other things. Also there were a few hundred envelopes made from tissue paper that were added at the end, I'm guessing that they contained some sort of written prayer to assist her in her travel. I took a video of the fire, I'll upload it when I can (probably in a few months when I get home)
