Burial Beads: Turn the Dead into Colorful Beads

In case you opted for cremation, some allow you to take ashes and place it in containers like a locket. In South Korea, they do it differently. Instead of keeping the ashes as they are, they compress the remains of the dead into colorful gem-like beads. The beads are stored in jars and even used as home decorations.What do you think? Weird? Maybe, but for people who practice these rites, it means something sacred, which we should all respect.
