Man overboard

“The government has lifted a 22-year ban on burials at sea and now wants to encourage the practice to help ease overcrowding in Hong Kong cemeteries.”

Not a bad idea. The only problem is relatives won’t get to participate in the oddest holiday I’ve ever heard of:

“Many Chinese want to visit the graves or urns of their relatives and ancestors, as many did in Hong Kong on the festival of Ching Ming, or Grave Sweeping Day, which this year fell on the Thursday before Easter.”
