yiliazhou12@gmail.comIn Chinese ancestral worship culture,
people burn joss money for their decease loved ones to ensure that the spirit of the deceased has sufficient means in th afterlife. It also shows love and transform grief. However, what about our dead pets? The moment they pass away, it seems tha we have no way to express our thoughts and nostalgia to them. I believe that death is an inevitable topic that we should face head-on. Therefore, I have designed a set of joss money for the five most popular pets: dogs, cats, fish, birds, and lizards. The
currency on the money is the favorite food for each animal. By burning it for them, ou beloved pets will receive all their favorite foods in heaven. Most importantly, this pet joss money is a positive way for people to deal with their solemn grief and face the
challenge of death.
