The Strange World of Funerals

This week we wander through the wild ways humans say goodby, from fiery send-offs inspired by Viking funerals to seated wakes where the guest of honor is still… attending. We also talk about some of our traditions, where things can get a little strange, a little expensive, and wonder why we do funerals the way we do. We also have some facts you might not know about funerals, burials, and some peculiar things people did to fresh graves! It’s heartfelt, a little unhinged, and just the right amount of “why do we do this?”
