Eating The Dead’s Ash (Venezuela and Brazil)
Don’t get shocked! Death and funerals are part of one’s Life, but the tradition of eating the ashes of your dead is shocking and bizarre tradition that is being followed. In the Yonamamo tribe from Brazil and Venezuela, the tradition forbids keeping any part of the deceased body. The body of the dead is burned. Bones are crushed and mixed with the ashes, is divided amongst the family and eaten by all.
