Palm leaf offerings on car windshield at cremation ceremony

Palm leaf offerings are attached to a car's windshield wipers at a cremation ceremony. Yellow-green palm leaf fronds have been folded, cut, and pinned with small sticks to make an offering that is intended to bless a participant's blue car for this important funeral event.
