Old rituals and body parts in shrines really does not answer the question at hand. This is an international world, I'm sure many foreigners have died there, nothing you have posted verifies that it is normal practice to send the finger of a foreigner, especially since its a practice that is even banned for local people..
Nothing to do with projecting western sensibilities, there are shrines and tombs in churches all over Europe with various body parts of ancient saints.
Totally separate issueThe missionary organisation should be able to answer these questions to be honest

It's not part of the international world & they have gone backwards since the coup.
I wasn't trying to prove that it was procedure, just showing a possible alternative to the first assumption of something fishy, it could be, but probably not.
When reality didn't match the western world view ( why not send the ashes etc) unfounded accusations are projected.
