"Death teaches us about history, psychology, and human nature. I learned more from death as an adult than I ever learned from history books as a child."

Death comes for us all, but how do we celebrate what remains? Bodily remains, that is. Blue-lit, high-tech Japanese columbarium. Advice-giving, smoking skulls of Bolivia. Community cemetary celebrations in Mexico. Join Aurelien and Catrina for an exploration of death cultures and rituals around the world with Caitlin Doughty's thought-provoking "From Here to Eternity."
