Marriage with a ghost: a funeral home worker in China stole the ashes of a blogger girl for a creepy ceremony

The attitude of the Chinese to death is very ambiguous. There are still traditions of "marriage with a ghost", when parents try to arrange the life of deceased children in the afterlife. An employee of the funeral services bureau stole the ashes of a girl who committed suicide live on air. He did this in order to sell it for the ritual. Find out how the dark story ended from our material.

An employee of a Chinese funeral home stole the ashes of a famous blogger. The girl committed suicide by drinking pesticide live. The man planned to sell her ashes for the conclusion of "marriages with a ghost."

A girl under the nickname Luoxiaomaomaozi drank poison live on the social network Douyin - the Chinese version of Tik-Tok. She had previously talked about being visited by thoughts of suicide. Some subscribers supported the idea of the girl to part with her life in front of the camera.

The Chinese woman died on October 15. The ambulance doctors failed to save her. In a video recorded the day before her death, the influencer talked about depression and that this could be her last video. 678,000 users subscribed to the girl's page.

After the body of the deceased was cremated, the employee of the funeral home conspired with two more employees to sell it to those wishing to conclude a "marriage with a ghost". This is an ancient Chinese tradition when living people want to marry the dead, believing that souls need to marry to preserve the welfare of descendants. This rite is more than 3000 years old. Basically, it is conducted by parents who want their deceased children to find a family in the afterlife. In China, this terrible tradition has been banned for many years, but the fashion for it is returning.

The plans of the three men were thwarted when they failed to find buyers of the ashes. Soon they were arrested.

The Japanese also firmly believe that the spirits of their ancestors keep their families. In order not to part with loved ones who have passed away, one company made mini-urns for ashes in the shape of an egg that you can carry with you.
