Funerary practice
Can anyone here tell me how Chinese families cope with the death of a loved one when there is no body? (Sailors lost at sea, men exploded inside their brothers, etc.) I assume this is rather a difficult problem, but I don't know any of the details. What would the impact be on any funeral rites? On future recognition of ancestors? Googling hasn't helped me much.
