Chinese Exhumation Ship Carries Buried Remains Home
A cargo ship leaving San Pedro carries nearly 6000 Chinese remains exhumed in America over fifty years. The operation, quietly arranged by the San Francisco Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, collected more than 500 coffins prepared for shipment. Relatives will later receive and inter the remains in China, a process tied to beliefs about the dead’s eyes remaining open abroad.
