Apparently, the Chinese governement plans to end the practice, but who knew it was an actual thing?

The practice isn't a tradition to have strippers at funerals, but rather a general tradition to send off the deceased with something they might like in the afterlife (faux cars, cash, candy, fruit, etc.). (or so I understand from my chinese friends).
