Hello everyone,
Here in indonesia there is culture that whenever someone in our family died we as family should give food for neighbors. Its have meaning that wish from family for neighbors with pure heart want to pray for that died people. And also its for sharing purpose. Due to corona here so much increase death. So i often received these foods.
So what do you think about this culture? Good or bad culture?

It's good that the family will get a little support from their neighbors at the time of grief

@Andini that is not good then
If they have to arrange for the money to be spend for this work then it's bad
If they are providing as per their capability then it's completely fine

Sharing of food is common in a lot of counteries for the passing of a loved one. While the grieving party may not be thinking about food, I can see why the pratice exists. It's a way to encourage a person to eat, and to keep going because that's what the departed would want.

@Andini Those who recently lose a loved one, might not think so, but it really does. In times of grief, people often fail to remember to take care of themselves. I know when my mom passed, the first couple of days I was a real wreck.

It's pretty similar here. But I think some people have started to change it, so it's the neighbours and relatives that come and help prepare the food and everything. I personally think it makes more sense.

@Andini Yeah, sadly there are some people who come only for the free food.

I am Latin, we do not have something similar, but it is a beautiful custom that you have. It is a very noble gesture to share in the midst of your pain for your loss. It should be an example for many countries.
