Tomb sweeping innovation goes green

An environmentally savvy cemetery in East China has started a virtual bank for paying tribute to the deceased as the nation encourages a new, green way of tomb sweeping.

The Nanjing Yuhua Cemetery, in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, called the service the "Bank of Heaven". Instead of burning spirit money, visitors scan a QR code and enter the names of the deceased and the amount of spirit money allotted to finish the process, which costs nothing in real money.

Besides the amount transferred, they can also write down what they want to say to the deceased loved ones.
