“These are human acts, acts of bravery and love in the face of death and loss.”

In the best form of death positivity, the internet’s favorite mortician travels the world to witness current death, funeral, and burial rituals. She hangs out with a mummified grandfather who has his own bedroom in Indonesia. She attends an open-pyre funeral in the United States. She visits a body farm, where researchers are working on perfecting human composting. As an American, where death is feared and sanitized, it’s eye-opening to see how other cultures elegantly handle death and dying.
