It’s unlikely that what any of us will miss most in the afterlife is an iPhone, or a nice pair of shoes, but what if you get to the other side of the mortal divide and discover that everyone else is fully kitted out with houses, cars and the latest in gaming consoles? Don’t you wish there was a way to have the latest fashion items delivered to you beyond the veil of mortality? According to Chinese tradition, there is. What you need to do is get someone still in the land of the living to obtain a paper effigy of the items you desire and burn them at your graveside.
