Her final resting place (III)


I wasn't really interested in going back to Mandai on Sunday to collect grandma's ashes, but I went so that Lynn gets to experience it.

It was really an eye opener, as I learn that it is mostly pieces of bones, and not ashes as seen in shows. We were invited to pick a piece of bone each to be put in the urn.  

We then took the urn to its final resting place at a columbarium name 三邑楼.  This is where my grandfather's urn is for the past 20 years. I have only been there on his first death anniversary. It's great to pay respect to him again after so many years. 










It had been 3 weeks. The feelings will never be the same before whenever I visit grandma's house. Life goes on; just need some time getting use to..
