Eventually everyone dies, but death, in various forms and ways, still comes as a shock. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Or they consign you to flames. The flesh sizzles and the bones crackle. be grateful it happens in that order.

About This Quote

It is amazing to think that death can be so utterly random. It was not always so. The ancient Egyptians practiced an ancient ritual called mummification, which meant preserving the body after death by slowly drying it out. They also practiced embalming where they would place the body in a large trunk filled with spices and oils to ensure that it would last for weeks or months after death.

When the time came to bury the person, they would have their heart removed, placed inside a vessel filled with honey, and buried beside them. A few hundred years ago, doctors had some reason to believe that this process helped preserve the body after death, but modern science has proven this notion false. We now know that slow slow decay is actually more humane than cremation or burial.
