When Ng Siu Kei was around 10, his grandfather passed away. This was a major event in Nga Tsin Wai at that time. After Ng Siu Kei’s grandfather finally exhaled his last breath, some villagers banged on the gong to alert the people of all the lanes of the old man’s death, yelling “Red Hair Uncle has gone!” Elderly villagers subsequently took it in turns to enter the house and offer up their incense and pay their last respects. Meanwhile, the village women sang mournful songs in Punti in the lanes while crying and gathered around the gatehouse to sew mourning dresses made of white linen and sackcloth. Ng Yat Fat and Lee Foo dealt with the matter of the old man’s death certificate and at the same time liaised with a funeral parlour regarding the burial ceremony. After fixing the day for the funeral parade, villagers erected bamboo scaffolding in front of the gatehouse. On the day of funeral parade, villagers bid farewell to the coffin in front of the gatehouse by performing the rites of ‘carrying the flag and buying water’. The coffin was then carried by the villagers on their shoulders for a parade through the village. Immediately behind was a band of about 10 people blowing trumpets with about 200 family members and villagers bringing up the rear. The procession started from the gatehouse and went around Nga Tsin Wai. When it finally reached Hau Wong Temple, everyone bade their final goodbyes to the coffin.
