If Buddha was alive today I'm sure He would laugh at all these customs that have been integrated into Buddhism they totally go against what He taught
" Those who made offerings of flowers, scents and incense to me are not really paying me homage. Only those who practice the Dhamma are the ones who truly pay homage to me."
