Cremation Part Two (2009-07-14)
Daifoo had a long tail
Cute little toes
Some of his teeth are intact
The monk picked up the really small bits left behind by us with great care
Can't believe we left so many bones behind
All done
Then the monk used a pair of thick chopsticks to squish the bones
to make room for the skull
and he placed the bones carefully in their anatomically correct order
Hard at work
Resembled
We were then asked to put in the tail bones by hand
Then he swept the fine powdery bits into the urn with chopsticks
and a brush
He sealed the urn
tied up the case
and placed it in a carry bag
We had a snack at this bakery
Lots of bread and baked goods
Daifoo with us in a cafe!
