Just out of curiosity, but what others Lao tradition do you follow for funeral?
Here is some tradition that I have seen, which seem funny, but there must be some logic behind it…
A least one person have to stay up the whole night, you can take turn each night till the funeral.
No sweeping the floors till the funeral.
No food can contain anything that is growing on vine or representing a rope, even noodles.
Washing your hand in a bucket of water set out at the cremation site.
Throwing wrap-up coins and watching everyone on the ground picking it up.
And of course, after the 100 days, they have the memorial ceremony.
