What to Expect:

Halloween season 2021! Time to lay this Halloween season to rest. Shane and Abraham close out this spooky series with a discussion about the history and rational for why we bury our dead. There are both practical and mythological reasons. A question you might not have thought to ask is: what does “burial” mean? Because, only humans bury our dead… if you define it that way.
