During her career in the search and rescue division of the Mexican Navy, Frida the rescue dog assisted first responders in major disasters in Haiti and Ecuador, and across Mexico. Even in retirement, she continued her service by training other dogs before she died on November 15, 2022. On November 24, 2022, the Navy held a memorial service attended by Frida’s human and canine colleagues. Her urn was placed in the base of her statue at Naval headquarters, serving as a monument to her memory.

Like everything else, end-of-life services change with the times. Though traditional funerals, rich with cultural and religious customs, are still very much preferred by some, the preference for less strict, more relaxed celebrations has gone from trend to convention. http://bit.ly/3HbSTAe

The Bo people, a community who lived in China's Sichuan and Yunnan regions, overlooking the longest river in Asia, were referred to "sons of the cliffs." The tribe vanished, but it left behind the Hanging Coffins of Asia. There is no confirmed explanation for these cliffside burials, but theorists believe they could have been a way for the bodies to be nearer to God or avoid being broken apart by wild animals. https://bit.ly/3xXiFUv
