E37: Dust to Dust - Burial Rites and Practices II (The Cultural Side of Things)

Decay of Discourse

On this episode of Dirty History, we'll discuss the ways in which cultures treat the remains of the dead from mummification and ship and sky burial to embalming catastrophes and the ethics of the ossuary. This episode is the conclusion of Dirty History's unified theory on what happens to our bodies when we die. A shout out to our newest Patron, Anwen Thomas. Thank you so much for your support! And as always, thank you to all of our listeners for wanting to know that which you shouldn't.
