HONORING THE DEAD: FUNERARY PRACTICES IN ANCIENT ASIA

Rituals that honor and respect the dead are part of all cultures and religions.

Belief in an after-life state is reflected in these rituals, whether it is that the honored person passes to another life, or to a paradise existence, or to union with the universe.  Come explore some of the fascinating practices that accompany death in various Asian belief systems and countries.

Asian Art Museum Docent: Mary Mead
