Funeral Van Without His Coffin

I attended mass at church this morning This was a funeral mass for Mr Jim. He was blessed with excellent longevity. Joining him at church were his wife, his grand children and great grandchildren. They bid him farewell for his journey to heaven. He was cremated and he became ashes. He didn't need time for his body to decay. Funeral van didn't carry his coffin All of his remain was contained in a little urn. After being buried in the cemetery by his family All that was left of him are his ashes in his urn. 12292015 NHIEN NGUYEN MD Translation of Vietnamese poem Xe Tang Không Có Quan Tài of NHIEN NGUYEN MD XE TANG KHÔNG CÓ QUAN TÀI Hôm nay dự lễ nhà thờ Lễ này là lễ cầu hồn ông Jim Ông này tuổi thọ khá cao Vợ con, cháu chắt, tiễn ông về trời. Không cần chờ tháng năm trôi Xác ông đã đốt, thành tro than rồi. Xe tang không có quan tài Chỉ một hộp nhỏ, ông là nắm tro. Gia đình đưa tiễn ông xong Nghĩa trang ông ở, nắm tro để đời. 12292015 NHIEN NGUYEN MD
