Jarring Death Rituals

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 Episode number 10! We are here to talk about some of the most jarring funeral ritual customs from around this freaky world. Featuring but not limited to mummy tupperware, the tribe that dresses up their dead to join them for dinner, hella devoted wives who light themselves ablaze to mourn the loss of their dead hubby-hubs, some super fun curses of course, and the possible burial plot of super-savior to some and homeboy to all, Jesus Christ.  For our Plus+ extension, we go into the fantastic book The Dead Have Never Died by Edward C. Randall, who relates experiences of talking directly to dead people, but not in the ordinary sense. He goes with a more blunt interrogatory approach, asking them what it's LIKE to die, what the next phase looks like, what their experiences in the afterlife feel like, and closes out with a bit of philosophical wanderings on what this might mean for every human life, as well as non-human consciousness.
