Why not cheques?

Every year after Ching Bing morning, we settle for home cook chicken porridge. Earlier before that we'd walk up and down to ancestral graves to burn them incense, paper money, or some shirts and shoes.

The only thing is that sometimes you just can't recall where some of them were buried. We were concerned that we would burn them the wrong 'afterworld attires'. Yes, we meant that. I mean, who wants to receive a gift belonging to someone else?

And for me the only thing is that it's a scary thought that I may not be able to pay them a visit next year.

Just a thought: wouldn't burning them a 'paper cheque' be more convenient for people and easier on the environment?
