An extremely interesting publication, @ladyrebecca. Almost all the information you offer us here, I didn't know. It is striking that since ancient times human beings have had rites to celebrate death and that some remain in time. In my country, Venezuela, people carry their dead on their shoulders, even to the cemetery. They go in a kind of caravan, walking and crying. Normally everyone is dressed in black. They make up the deceased and dress him in the best clothes. If they put a shirt on him, the buttons are removed, as well as the zipper on his trousers. They don't put jewelry on him either. If the dead man is a child, they put white socks on him so that when he walks to heaven, he does not mistreat his feet. There are so many things that I think I'm going to make a post on this subject. ;) Thank you for this publication and for giving me the idea. Greetings
