Exhumation was an important burial practice among overseas Chinese and has been documented. When a Chinese man died, the body was (in most cases) eventually shipped back to China. Relatives would take up the bones and boil them before they were sent off on their long journey. | Exhumation was an important burial practice among overseas Chinese and has been documented.
