'The book is graced with more than a dozen photographs of funeral setups and rituals and it has a useful list of Chinese Characters. The fact it is the only monographic study in English on Chinese death rituals in a Chinese society makes it not only useful for specialists but suitable as well for use on courses on Chinese religion and ritual.' - Adam Yuet Chau, University of Oxford, Journal of Chinese Religions, 2009
'This highly readable book introduces readers to a fascinating aspect of Chinese Rituals in Singapore. The book is thoroughly researched, well written and clearly structured, and contains rich ethnographic data that bring to life a subject pertinent to every individual. The reader will gain a strong sense of the socio-cultural world that the Sinaporean Chinese negotiates, in all its richness and nuances.' - Lily Kong, National University of Singapore, Temenos, Nrdic Journal of Comparative Religion, Volume 43 No. 2
