Did you know that every four or five years the Malagasy of the Indian Ocean island of Madagascar, off southeast Africa, retrieve their dead from tombs that are half above ground and half below, expose them to the sunlight, toss them and catch them, and then wrap them in a new silk for reinterment. It is called "famadihana," and it is a time of much celebration, w tih singing and dancing.

Fascinating. A very different and unusual attitude toward death and the dead.
