While organizing old photos, I found the flower coffin carrier of my late aunt.
She had passed away several years ago.
We delivered traditional funeral.
Photo is not so clearly focused. But it might be the last traditonal funeral in our family.
May be I am the almost last generatiion to see the traditional funeral.
My aunt had had a very tough life. She experianced the korean war 1950 - 1953.
Her husband, my uncle, elder brother of my dady, passed away earlier.
So she did every thing to raise my cousin.
My mom was her best freind.
It is strange that men were not so helpful at difficult times.
It was like that my dady and cousin had not enough ability to support their family.
That was the share of my mom and my aunt.
when the last is good, everything is fine.
My mom and my aunt did their reponsibility successfully.
At the funeral, my mom felt sad and sorry.
I remember her cry and tears until now.
She had never leave the coffin during the funeral.
In korean traditional funeral, the coffin is decoralted with artificial flowers.
I took a photo of my mom with the flower coffin carrier.
The flower coffin carrier is for the last trip to the other world from this world.
I didn't take the photos of that funeral.
So I took a photo of funeral marching from internet. It was similar to my aunt's funeral
One year later I visited aunt's grave. The grave was fine.
My aunt was burried next to my uncle.
My cousin had grown up without his father.
I know he have missed his dady all his life. So he burried his mom right beside his dady.
Did they finally meet at the other world ?
