My cousin shared two pictures of my dad’s Otsuya, the previous night of the funeral. Oen picture shows my dad’s face in the coffin. He looks calm and peaceful as if he is happily sleeping. When my dad organized the funeral for my mom, he didn’t have any limitations from anybody, so that he ended up paying more than $80,000 just for the funeral, inviting more than 200 attendees. I think it was a crazy idea. This time my brother was smart enough to arrange the funeral just for the family only. I sent my dad a set of Japanese mantras, good thoughts, and appreciations, and wished him for a good departure to his spiritual home.
