During a funeral, the corpse receives way more affection, love, or attention, from some people, than was ever received, from those people, by the person the corpse used to be.

You can use a rope to get somebody out of a pit toilet. Or to make it necessary for somebody to put your body into a grave.

Among other things, culture is the decision as to how a corpse is to be returned to the soil.

Death frees us from even ourselves.

We are all our own bodies’ visitors.

Every single living thing is food to at least one living thing.

That you are about to bury or have just buried your loved one does not make you and your loved ones immortal for a while.

Most people are not really scared of death. They are merely terrified of being taken to a mortuary and/or being buried or cremated and/or being forgotten.

Cremation is the refusal to put a corpse to good use.
