The Afterlife

I told myself I am going to wash my car the next day and hopefully I don't laze over it and postpone it to another day. In the Discovery channel, it's day two on the documentary Afterlife and it showed the Torajan Christians in Indonesia in dealing with their deceased. According to their beliefs, when the person dies, the body will be preserved and kept until the family organised a formal burial ceremony. The 2nd part of tonight's show was about an old Hong Kong woman shopping to prepare for her own afterlife.....yes, that included clothing, photograph, and the search for her niche lot at a temple conumbarium where she wanted to be after she dies. Another section of the Hong Kong part was about a lady getting help from a specialist in organising a funeral for her deceased father. This reminded me of the funeral proceeding for my late grandfather who passed away in April last year. How I really missed him.
