Flower burials introduced in Sichuan
Mourners walk past a flower burial area at a cemetery in Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan province, March 23, 2011. The Chengdu city government sponsored the city's first 50 flower burials, in which people put the ashes of deceased family members directly in the soil without using a cinerary casket, to encourage environment-friendly burials before Tomb-sweeping Day, or Qingming Festival.
