Thank you for sharing such a scene with us Jenna. It seems much more civilized to me than putting clothes and makeup on the body and putting it in a box that goes in the ground!

Very interesting how different mourning the death of loved ones can be in other cultures. When we see how some in ours can't seem to accept, or have extreme difficulty accepting death, a natural and inevitable event, one wonders if these others might have a better way. Wonder what the price of a funeral is there? With Love Always GarlandGarlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153873101908452483noreply@blogger.com
