Religion often serves as a spiritual anchor for people amid life's turbulent waves. By exploring how different religions perceive death, this session examines the core meaning of funeral rites, approaches to a “good death” and ways to mourn for the departed. It also reflects on how modern society can uphold respect for life and offer comfort to the soul.
