Burial practices are the ways in which people lay their dead to rest. Different cultures have unique traditions, such as cremation, where the body is burned, or in-ground burials, where the body is placed in a grave. These practices often reflect beliefs about life after death and the importance of honoring the deceased. In many societies, burial rituals include ceremonies and offerings. For example, some cultures may place flowers or personal items with the body to accompany the deceased on their journey. These customs help families and communities cope with loss while celebrating the life of the person who has passed away.
