How other people remember: Día de los Muertos, Qingming and more, sentence 0
All around the world people say goodbye to the dead and remember them, and the customs look very different: bright orange flowers and sugar skulls in Mexico, swept graves in China, a week at home for a Jewish family, three days of songs on a Māori marae, a funeral with no prayers for a humanist.
