death and rituals
I just spent the last week being involved with the wake and funeral of my wife's grandmother. While I was sitting around the wake for 4 hours I had time to reflect on how odd a custom we have surrounding death.
We prepare the dead body so it's okay to look at and then we hang out with it and chat for a few hours. Weird....anyone have any insight to other cultures death rites and rituals? Any insight into how ours got started?
