According to Next AppleHsu’s younger sister, Dee Hsu, confirmed through her manager that the family had finalized the funeral arrangements. “We occasionally talked about life and death, and each of us had our own thoughts. My sister once said that if she were to pass away, she would prefer a natural burial because it is environmentally friendly,” she said.

For now, Hsu’s ashes are being kept at home. Once the burial site and date are confirmed, the family will proceed with the ceremony.

Alternative burial methods, including natural, flower, and sea burials, have gained popularity in Taiwan, Udn reported. A natural burial involves planting a tree at a cemetery and placing the ashes in a biodegradable cotton or paper bag beneath its roots, without a headstone or name engraving.
