#funerary practices and the afterlife and body disposal methods and just. grief and mourning in general r like. My bigggg autism thing i dont #talk abt it a lot bc 1 i just Dont shut up once i get going 2 a lot of ppl dont want to hear abt stuff like that which is fine. kicked pupp #expression. i just find it very very interesting to see how different ppl grieve and whats considered like. Right and wrong when it comes t #care of the body yk. bc like. most/every culture has their practices and anything outside of that feels wrong to them bc its like. yk its s #pivotal idr the exact anecdote/story but caitlin doughty mentioned it in one of her books where like. there were 2 groups and one cremated #their dead and the other practiced mortuary cannibalism and both viewed the other as barbaric and it rly shaped how i view it like. yk. its #rly something so personal where even when the way someone grieves makes you uncomfortable its like. you cant force someone to grieve in a #way thats palatable to you. yk. for a rly long time washing the body and being with the body after death was a rly important part of grief #in like. usamerican culture its only more recently that it became wayyy less common w the rise of funeral homes and stuff. and obv for many #ppl that wouldnt be comforting but i think it could be for a lot of ppl..#my personal belief on it is everyone should be allowed to grieve and dispose of the dead As they want and that should be like. yk. theres #the nebulous term of Desecration which is legally rly difficult to define there r a lot of states where the law is 'if it would outrage #normal family values' which is just so fucking stupid obviously like. whos family. bc every single person has a different view on whats #appropriate yk... IDK. i think as long as its relatively safe for the living and as long as its not like. Against the wishes of the decease #like. if someone says they want a burial and then theyre cremated (not out of necessity like 4 financial stuff) im like. yk. obv theyre dea #but i think its important to honor their last wishes... yk. and that should go for like. If someone wants an open pyre cremation that shoul #be available... if someone wants aquamation etc. IDK. etc. like. another thing is with embalming while i wish it werent De Facto ppl r #railroaded into it i entirely disagree w ppl who say it should be wiped out entirely like. there r environmental ramifications 4 sure and i #love for that to be more like. talked abt... but embalming is rly important to a lot of ppl and idt its right to shit all over that. idt it #necessary for every death i personally dont see the point of embalming for like. a peaceful death with a quick funeral and theyre getting #cremated after. but ik like. for a lot of black families embalming is very important for like. a reclamation esp in violent or traumatic #deaths its very important to have like. a funeral with a viewing. and i think thats something that shouldnt be taken away from anyone ever.#even like. ik this is controversial but extreme embalming w/ posing and stuff as long as thats what the decease wanted like. i think its #awesome !! i Dont agree w taking the corpses of the poor or disenfranchised to prop up for art pieces Personally but like. there r ppl who #want to be displayed like that like. riding their motorcycle one last time or ummm. that posthumous concert that happened. i get how it can #seem morbid or wtvr but like. the families r happy with that its what those ppl wanted and it like. its a celebration of their life and #their interests and i think thats super important. BASICALLY.#ok tag limits coming so im cutting myself off for sure this time. but wtvr. i hope this makes sense to anybody else sorry i rambled. im ver #passionate abt it KJBADKJBDKJ
