Most of the time along with the Kim or gold (symbolized by paper with gold seals, usually stamped with the name of the deceased, dolls also and paper houses), You also burn most of their clothes and other belongings. And yes this symbolizes sending these to the afterlife. Where we believe our love ones will live.

Hi there, I did a little research and found that Joss paper is traditionally burned at Chinese funerals. The paper, made of bamboo or rice, can be designed in the deceased person's image, monetary bills, credit cards or other valuable items. The burning symbolizes sending these items into the afterlife where the deceased person would need them. I hope this helps.
