Last time I had written an article talked something about funeral, and this time I would like to introduce two special funerals I had heard. If memory services me right, somewhere on the earth, maybe in Africa has a special funeral that when someone died, all his famliy and relative will assembly, cut off the corpse of the deader and cook it, and then, all the famliy and relative will share the food of deader's flesh. To be a modernist, it is hard to believe this kind of funeral culture, but it is reality. Unfortunately, I forget the name of this type of funeral, and feel curious that are you dare to eat the flesh of human in this kind of situation? And the second one is that there has a lot of vultures in Tibet before, and when Tibetan died, people just put the dead body on the open-air mountain. We all know that the vulture is the creature which like to eat the rotten flesh, it make sense that when they see the corpse of Tibetan decomposed on the mountain, they just come down at the dead body and eat the flesh. The Tibetan called it that the heaven funeral, and believe that deader could head to heaven after the vulture finished the corpse. Once I had watched a TV program, a man whom really worry that the vultures were fewer and fewer nowadays by some unknown reason, because he thought that after he himself pass away, there probably has no more the vultures can eat his own corpse, and tried to find a solution to save this problem. Although I can say nothing about him, heaven funeral seems not bad, and I don't care if the offspring of mine choose this type of funeral to me. By the way, last year I had played a video game, in that game also has a special funeral that a mother of two kids died, and people put her body and many beautiful flowers on a small boat, and after the ceremony of the funeral gone, they just pushed the boat into the ocean. Believe it or not, I played this game with tear, because it was really touch my heart, and now I think that type of ocean funeral is so romantic. -- --
