Caitlin Doughty looks at how
different countries handle death and dying. Let's face it most Americans are petrified
of death and wouldn't even have a loved one's dead body in their house, even if
their passing was peaceful. It was a different story for our ancestors, as
Caitlin reveals. And whilst funeral pyres, 'recomposition’ and natural burials
are making slow inroads in the US; countries like Japan and Mexico, amongst
others, embrace death, devoting days to commune with their loved ones who have
long passed over (although, in Mexico they aren't afraid to take advice from
007!)
A fascinating, funny and kind of
spiritual look at how different cultures view the D word.
