My wife is under strict instructions to leave a BK double whopper meal (upsized) when I shuffle off this mortal coil.

Fuck eating dried fish/prahoc soup in the afterlife.

Thinking about it she can leave 1/2 a happy pizza and a couple of tins of blackie P, whilst she's at it.

Oh, you mean those big funeral feasts where everyone gathers around the ashes/corpse at the pagoda to have a big hearty meal? Yeah, uh, that doesn't happen... The food is for the dead person. The only big meal people have is at the 100 day ceremony.
I wouldn't call it a big feast, but I can assure you they do eat at funerals, not around the ashes or corpse, but at a table nearby. There is of course fruit for the spirits too, but I barely notice that because you see that and incense in so many places. They also eat a meal at 7 day ceremonies.

When I die I want an air-burial ...don't waste energy burning me or pollute the ground water putting me in the earth....let the animals eat me and concentrate my elements into stater kits for a seedling or two to grow....

That is also a trick gavinmac and scobienz resort to as well, the latter using the 'keep the thread on topic' excuse when their buddies start crap and get short shrift. You point out who was stirring, and it's always 'oh, teacher, he started it', while they conveniently ignore the shit-stirrer and leave their post there.

I don't want to derail this thread, but it's interesting to me that the same people who rail against corrupt Khmers wobble when given a little power.

Only met Peter a few times, but he was polite in 'riel' life. RIP
You take this opportunity to bitch about how you've been treated? Peter is dead, you silly little man.
Sorry to interrupt the fight over who eats what, but I just noticed this clown post now.

If you read the thread, nb, you will see that someone had a go at Peter for censoring, and I responded to that , saying it was not only him. I then also went on to say that the few times I met him, he was polite. A normal person might have even interpreted that as positive, but perhaps the brain-dead are not normal.

Go home.

I forgot about that part. Seems a bit unhygienic to be sharing your food with ghosts though.

why could she not bring food ?


and...err... after numerous pages and few insults by john-arse etc, it was exactly as I guessed - simply as its everywhere...
haha... its no much fun, to post on these forums.
the super-uneducated and stupid are having their field days here - where else...

probably now another 10 pages of hatred, until someone might have an answer?
what would stop someone to bring the food as required to the pagoda ?
cox of 1 lettler...

Because Pete's body was retained by the UK Embassy until they could get hold of his next of kin (in this case, his brother but apparently they couldn't)... And Pete's wife couldn't organize the funeral at the pagoda until she got a letter from the UK embassy authorizing her to take the body. That's what she meant by "cox of 1 letter" (she actually meant to write 'coz' for 'because').

thanks.

so its normal here?
- body is embalmed at the hospital
- what exactly means embalming - everything inside/outside ?
- brought to pagoda (hours after death then)
- and buried (fire) the next day or the same day ?
- would someone bring food to the pagoda anyways, even if the body is still in hospital
- does the hospital have some prayer room to do so in such cases ?

perhaps you or anyone else knows...
find that interesting to know...

[ in our culture, the body was kept in the living room and everyone came along.
the jews also keep them at home and pray for a certain number of hours or so... forgot. but they bury much faster than the Christians do. ]

I mean, im ready to check-out, but really... please not here...
