“Death Experience” Event Held in E China for People to Get a Taste of Lying in Coffin

Life and death are one of the ultimate quests human beings must embark on. Many people deliberately avoid topics and conversation about death, but some, perhaps out of pure curiosity, choose to face it squarely.

A “Death Experience” event was held by a funeral home on March 25, 2016, in east China’s Tianjin, asking participants to lie down in a coffin, in which they were to meditate about life and death alone in darkness. The experience came along with a farewell ceremony to the “body”, too.

Those who took part in the event included college student volunteers and those who registered.
