An Akha Funeral


An Akha Funeral Main Page

The neighbor hands over the money, old Chinese coins that are no longer legal tender. I’m told that the son of the deceased is supposed to pay the money back. Traditionally, that may have taken some time, but the son actually returns the coins within a few days of the funeral, at which time more whisky is undoubtedly served up.
