Chinese wake

Yesterday, I went to a Chinese wake. It was held at a funeral parlour. Never been to one before, although I did saw it once on tv. I found out that everything is in yellow. Prayers were done in groups and lead by a monk wearing a black robe and hat accompanied by drums and pipes. Child of the decesed were required to wear black with a hat and robe made from sack on top. There’s a couple of man gambling at the back of the room. I found out later that it’s actually one of the custom held during a wake.

My condolensence to Lim Kah King and his family
