About the Presentation

Someone dies, yet the body remains. As a civilized society, we never just leave the body where it lies. We need to do something with it, something permanent. But what? Different societies have found different solutions to that question. This slide show (195 images) takes a wide-ranging tour through the world, looking at what happens to the body.
