An Akha Funeral


An Akha Funeral Main Page

Here, one of the grandsons carries the dismantled bed of the deceased. As the procession gets closer to the burial site, he will discard the bed on the side of the path, effectively providing Atoo with his own bed in the after life. Like with the clothes that were put in the coffin, this is so that he will have everything he needs and not need to return for anything.
