Siam: Funeral's and Cremation

Siam: Funeral's and Cremation

Margaret and Kenneth witnessed a cremation ceremony. The actual cremation usually took place only after a couple of months or a year or several years. It was costly to afford the cremation, so many families could not get enough money for it until a year or more later. After the body was burned relatives were allowed to pick body parts to keep.
