What a great look into burial practices around the world. As someone who has been reading a lot about death and loss lately, it was really comforting to see how people are held and loved after death.
I loved reading about the funeral pyre in Colorado, loved the humor in the way she approached what some people would be uncomfortable with.
I love how death and grief are tied together in other cultures, as we seem to be so disconnected from it.

A fascinating look at the rituals of grief and mourning around the world. Highlights the ways we’ve put death in ‘another room’ in western cultures.
