Hell Money
Hell Money is a type of paper currency that is traditionally burned during Chinese funerals and ancestral worship. It is believed to provide financial support to deceased relatives in the afterlife, ensuring they have the means to live comfortably.
The practice is rooted in Chinese culture and reflects the importance of honoring ancestors. Families often purchase or create elaborate replicas of money, including denominations that resemble real currency, to be burned as offerings. This ritual symbolizes respect and the ongoing connection between the living and the dead.
