Death-Burying Coffin

Burying the coffin

Burying the coffin


Place:North of Sheung Shui Village
Date:1963-11-21
Observation:A hastily dug grave has been prepared on the hillside, and the coffin is lowered into it and the pit covered in again. A roughly carved stone might be stuck into the ground at the head of the grave, but often no marker was inserted because ideally this was meant to be only a temporary burial.
