From prehistoric graves to ancient tombs, churchyards, Victorian cemeteries, cremation, woodland burials, and digital memorials, this Compact History episode explores how humans have cared for the dead across time. Burial customs reveal far more than practical choices. They show us what societies believed about grief, memory, religion, status, family, and the afterlife.
