Didn't know that is a thing.

The point of inviting strippers, some of whom performed with snakes, was to attract large crowds to the deceased’s funeral – seen as a harbinger of good fortune in the afterlife. “It’s to give them face,” one villager explained. “Otherwise no one would come.

Wow, how sad is that.

It's a tradition to burn money at chinese funeral.

FTFY

Always find it to be pretty bold claim on that note is legal tender both in heaven and hell.

[ZenOps]

That's not a real heaven note. The bills in heaven are in denominations of 8.

So $8,888,888.88

Uh... only gods go to heaven. The best you can do as a mortal human is end up in level 1 of the 18 levels of hell. (pretty sure)
