This special guided tour will present how death practices are displayed across different ancient cultures and societies. Through the comparison and contrast of their different displays of death, we will examine the significance of the memorial of past societies through their individual representations. This tour will explore mainly the theme of class/status. Audience: adults/mature audiences (due to the discussion of death)
