Placing food and money is the custom practised by the Vietnamese for their dead members.
Do you know: The deceased is traditionally buried twice in Vietnam.
After a person has died, his body is washed and dressed. A chopstick is placed in the deceased’s mouth with a little rice and three coins. Fake money is also placed close to the grave to help the deceased in the after life. Also, the deceased is initially buried on the land where he used to live, and after two years, the remains are dug out, cleaned and reburied in the family garden.
