A service now lets people pay their respects to the dead through a livestream

It seems like you truly can find the answer to everything online.

Qingming Festival is the one day a year where many Chinese people visit cemeteries to pay their respects to their ancestors, typically by praying, cleaning the graves, or leaving offerings.

But if you're too lazy busy to make it down, one cemetery is offering to do your duty for you -- and livestream it as proof.

The Yuhuatai Cemetery in Nanjing has started to offer its services on China's largest social media platform, WeChat.

Customers can register and pay online, and will later receive a password to watch the livestream at an assigned time.

But the service has drawn much flak.

"Somethings cannot be replaced by others. This is something related to your ancestors, your loved ones...and you're using a substitute?" said one netizen on Weibo.

"You're entrusting a stranger to your loved ones' graves and paying them money. Really, do you not feel ashamed?" another asked.

"Don't bother having a grave. Just upload a photo on a website and visit it every year," one person said, sarcastically.

Qingming falls on April 4, and is typically celebrated in countries such as China, Malaysia and Singapore.

The tradition dates back almost a thousand years, with hundreds of people flocking to ancestral graves to pay their respects every year.
