There is relatively little to do. Rather than prayers for the dead, I mean to offer the prayers we would for a member of the clan who was setting off on a long journey or hunt. We have the joss paper and incense in the shrine already. I think perhaps pink chrysanthemums for the flowers? Chrysanthemums are for long life, and white would be for mourning, red for good luck...pink could be a mix of the two.
Is it strange, that I feel compelled to make a ceremony for this?
