"Traditional Chinese burial practices in New South Wales combine deep-rooted ancestral customs, regional feng shui principles, and historical bone-return traditions, alongside modern adjustments like specialized brick burners and community memorial events.
Temporary Burial & Bone Repatriation: In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many Chinese immigrants were temporarily buried for about seven years. District and native-place associations (like the Quong Sing Tong at Sydney's Rookwood Cemetery) later exhumed the bones to ship them back to the deceased’s home village in China for final rest."Wikipedia
