In this episode of Growing Up Grieving, we’re traveling the globe (without ever leaving our microphones) to explore five fascinating and sometimes surprising grief and burial customs from different corners of the world.

From the sky-high mystery of hanging coffins to the soulful rhythms of New Orleans jazz funerals, the ritual of consuming one’s bones in endocannibalism, the joyful bone-turning tradition of Famadihana, and the eerie elegance of seated burials, we’re diving into practices that challenge how we think about honoring the dead.

We’re not anthropologists, historians, or world travelers (unless Google Street View counts), but we did our research on the internet—so you know… it’s at least 78% accurate.

Join us for a mix of curiosity, respect, and just enough awkward laughter to remind you this is still your favorite show Growing Up Grieving.
