Chapter 365 Ulterior Motives

Huaying District differs from the customs of Tianmeng District; here, there are no funeral homes, only crematoriums.

After a person dies, the body stays at the family home for two days for friends and visitors to express their condolences before being sent to the crematorium. After cremation, the ashes are then returned to the home for preservation.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Some dignitaries do not send the body to be cremated upon death, as Huaying District has no mandatory regulations. Some even directly bury the body within their estate.

This is a way of expressing mourning for a loved one, signifying that even in death, the family still lives together with the person.

However, that was before the strangenesses erupted, after which such acts were tantamount to a death wish.
