In this chilling first part of a two-part series, Shauna takes you on a journey through centuries of funeral rituals shaped by both reverence and terror. From sin-eaters in rural Britain to ancient Greek coins meant to pay the ferryman, this episode unearths the spiritual, folkloric, and at times horrifying ways humans have tried to ensure the dead stay at rest. With stories that span from historical rituals to near-death modern miracles, we peel back the veil on how humanity has tried to say goodbye… and why we’re still afraid it might not be enough.
