China, one million dollars for a funeral

 - A Chinese businessman has spent almost a million dollars for the funeral of his mother. The Chinese press reports. Eight limousine covered with flowers and other luxury cars to transport family members, over 600 musicians divided into at least 20 bands and 16 golden guns fired blanks to bless the coffin, were deployed by the entrepreneur in the stage of school Xinhe Middle School, Wenling, in the eastern Chinese province of Zheijiang.

The coffin was accompanied by over 600 monks, many of which have been "hired" by the city and nearby provinces because there were not so many in the city. The funeral was attended by over 1000 between family members, friends, employees of the contractor, acquaintances and the merely curious.
All those who have not been able to closely follow the coffin, were able to attend the funeral, watching the giant screens placed around the school grounds, around which at least 10,000 onlookers approached creating traffic problems.
