Traditionally, Chinese mostly confine their burning to incense and paper money in honor of the deceased. Burning paper money - or other paper replicas of earthly possessions - is not new.
At funerals, people bring paper reproductions of jewelry, clothes, cameras, cars, cell phones and other assorted items, luxury or otherwise, to burn so that their loved ones will have all the creature comforts when they ascend to the afterlife.
Houses and boats seem to be a common thing to burn - and they are a light wood frame covered in colorful tissue papers. The interiors are decorated and fully furnished.
If your items are small you can bring them with you, otherwise you can have them delivered.
