death. burials. advice. I wonder how many Jews these days choose cremation rather than burials. And cremations, of course, a stark reminder of the Holocaust murders, where Jewish families had no choice. And posted on All Soul's Day. And then, too, The Day of the Dead (Nov 1 and 2): a national day of embracing the dead and potentially one's own death. Death and burial, like so many other things, change, and evolution. And currently, there are studies to try to understand if animals sense death, their dead kin

And, finally, for some thinkers, humans became human way back in time when they bezgan to bury their dead.

What a come back post! Great content - I think you found a job I’d be great at! Next year on our annual cemetery trek to visit your father’s relatives, I’ll bring along a ball of string in addition to my beautiful cape cod stones.

Interesting and kinda creepy. Hmm, can I use the string to tie up a roast?
