Maintaining the connection

'Keku will not be forgotten. Her mortuary chapel connects her to our world of the living. Her ka is able to enter this space through the tomb's false door and inhabit a statue of her we had made. This means her ka can accept the food, drink and other essentials that we will place on the offering table every time we visit.

Keku's tomb will be well maintained and her spirit looked after. However, if there comes a time when our family or friends can no longer make offerings, her tomb decorations, inscriptions and objects are specially designed to ensure she will always be well supplied in the afterlife and remembered by our faithful gods.

Today, in the time of our King Psam-tek, I both sadly farewell my daughter and rejoice in the knowledge of her immortality.
