An Akha Funeral


An Akha Funeral Main Page

The phi ma chants for some time over the ash mound, a small table with some food as offerings, and the corpse of the pig. Eventually the pig will be butchered and eaten, but not yet. The eggs each are given to a member of the family and they take it home as a symbol of good luck, to be eaten later.
