The topic of death can make many people feel uncomfortable and in most cases were are shielded from it even though it is a natural occurrence. In the U.S. we practice something called embalming which is done to preserve the deceased body temporarily in time for the viewing. We embalm bodies and put make-up on the dead all to give the appearance that they are simply "sleeping" peacefully. To many other cultures this practice may seem strange, but what about the traditions done in the Victorian era? What about post-mortem photography? Or the annual cleansing of bones in Mexico? The picking and keeping of bones in Japan from a tradition they call Kotsuage? If this topic interests you join us and listen!
