Cemetry where tombs are built to the size of mansions with modern amenities for the dead to occupy in afterlife!
In Chinese Manila cemetery, many tombs are built reaching the size of mansions with all the modern amenities included. Wow.
They have fully-functioning kitchens and bathrooms with luxury fittings, and plush bedrooms for visiting relatives.
Some of these places even have full-time residents who don’t seem to mind sharing their living space with the dead.
The extravagance of the cemetery is believed to reflect the great respect that the Chinese have towards their departed family members – they believe that the souls of the dead live in another world and their graves are supposed to be their homes on Earth.
So if a family can afford it, it only makes sense for them to construct afterlife homes that are up to three stories high. But children aren’t buried in this cemetery. They are cremated instead.
For the visiting relatives who have remained in cemetery, every modern amenity is available to them, including electricity, running water, drainage, telephone lines, cellular connectivity, and even a local restaurant.
*Oh dear!
