In addition to coming to pray at the main temple, one of the busier activities at Wat Nikrodharam is honoring loved ones who have died. There's a mausoleum with a large area of tables out front. Pay your respects inside, bring a big feast as an offering and have a little ceremony.

Most people have pictures on their space. It's a fast ID to place the age of the person who died and when. A lot of young people are included. On the left, a young woman in her vintage '60's finest look. On the right, tragedy, a child. The juice box offering makes it even sadder.
Prayers at the front of the mausoleum.
The place is busy. Families gather, put out a big spread and pray.
Some of the mausoleum spaces are see-through, showing an urn and other cherished items.
