The procession on Sunday was a Taoist on as one of my uncles was in charge of the whole arrangement. But I'm sure that she is in heaven with the Lord as she has already accepted Jesus as her Saviour. The arrangement for the funeral was solely handled by my uncle who in total I heard spent $20,000.00.
It was the grandest I've ever witness. With all the traditional chinese band, flower girls, big association banners, big head dolls and a walking party of almost 200 hundred people. The head of the procession was about 800 meters in front of the casket with 3 buses and 5 cars tagging along behind. In total I estimated the length of the procession to be about 1KM long.
I'm appreciating this as a chinese, as part of our culture and traditions.
Here are some photos to let you have a feel.

Taking photos at funerals is no longer a no-no... These are memories to keep too...
Crowds gather as a grand procession like this rarely happens these days

And the last car is somewhere behind the last chartered SBS bus.
A walking party of about 100m
