Donated items and money fill and adorn small funerary houses in the front of the family home in honor of Mr. Voua Sy Amkha, 63, a propaganda official for the Lao government in Luang Prabang, Laos, who died of a stroke. His funeral was held over a series of days—first at home with family and monks in Ban Navieng Kham village, a suburb of Luang Prabang, then cremation at the central crematorium site in Ban Vieng Mai, and then again at home a few days after the cremation ceremony.
