And what exactly goes on during one of these fake funerals? While there are several companies, they all provide basically the same experience. First, participants put on yellow hemp robes, which are traditional death garments, and then pose for photos that will be used during services later on. After getting dressed up, the groups participate in a series of rather morbid activities. Often, the soon-to-be-deceased write out their wills and read them in front of the group. Many times, they’ll create their own epitaphs or work on goodbye letters to their families, encouraging their loved ones to live better lives. Eventually, it’s time for the funeral, and the attendees crawl into their own caskets. The lids are nailed on, and the “dead†are plunged into darkness. While they think about their lives, they can hear someone sprinkling dirt on top of their coffins as “mourners†cry in the audience. Ten to 15 agonizing minutes later, the lids are removed, and the dead are “reborn,†hopefully having learned not to take life for granted.
