Attention!
When reading and burning offerings, please read each offering separately. For example, we are sending some clothes, gold, and money to Grandfather named... who passed away in the year... at the address... for burial at.... Because it is believed that when burning, if the name of each offering, address, and recipient is read, the deceased will receive them.
