Taiwan - Taipei - Devotion

Add to Cart Download

In one of Taipei's funeral parlors, offerings for the recently deceased are displayed. The mourners offer fruits, food, beer or other beverage, snacks and hell money (joss paper) for their deceased loved ones. As the people believe in afterlife and reincarnations, they trust that the souls of the departed still need to be taken care of. From the day of death onwards, the mourners will hold a bimonthly Baibai at home to pay tribute to the deceased, where they will offer food and joss paper to the spirits.

The deceased receive blessing in form of something they've loved most.
