Last night one of my wife's Grannie's passed away.
It was Grandma from mothers side and she passed away as a very old lady, somewhere in her nineties.
She passed away after not being too well for a couple of months, getting weaker almost by the day.
The next couple of days, the whole extensive family, children, grandchildren and grand-grandchildren will be staying in the local temple, pretty much all day. Not to mention all friends and people who just come by to show their respect. My wife's parents and her sisters and brothers will sleep in the temple, until Monday, when the cremation ceremony takes place.
It takes some organising to keep all those people fed, so massive amounts of food have been bought on the local market, so during any given time, folks can be fed.
Here's a picture that shows grandma's last resting place until Monday.
On this picture you can get an idea, looking at the size of the wok's and pots and pans, how much food is cooked all day long.
