There should always be a grave. If there is no grave, burn it at home or at the crossroads. When burning paper, surround it with ashes (the ashes in the stove where cooking is done can be replaced by burnt honeycomb briquette ashes). Burn paper in the circle, but burn a little outside the circle before burning (burn it to ghosts and other relatives in your family, and ask them not to rob your brother). The function of the circle is to keep other ghosts out. Light some incense beside the circle, call your brother's name when burning in the circle, and ask him to bless you, but don't disturb you. It is best to put a little food in the bowl where you eat at home (there is a gap, it is broken), and after soaking the paper with water (we call it water rice), it will be splashed in the circle (there is no open fire but there is mars). Finally, break the bowl hard and you can go home. Don't look back at this time. The time should be before the sun goes down, that is, at night, when the door of hell closes. If your brother died just a few days ago, he would go to the roadside to burn straw at around eight o'clock every night (that's what my grandfather did when he died, to keep the dead warm).

These are our customs here, at least that's what we do.
