Description:
Through a cultural analysis of the symbols of death - flesh, blood, bones, souls, time numbers, food and money - Chinese Death Rituals in Singapore throws light upon the Chinese perception of death and how they cope with its eventuality.

This in turn leads Kiong to examine the interrelationship between death and the socioeconomic value system of China as a whole.
