7. Tana Toraja
The Toraja people view death very differently than most of the world. Among their funeral ceremonies is called the “Baby Trees.” Corpses of babies that have not teethed are placed inside the hollowed out trunk of a tree and covered with a palm fiber door. It’s believed the child’s essence will be part of the tree.
8. Sir Percy Florence Shelley
After the death of her husband, Mary Shelley, author of the book Frankenstein, had him cremated but his heart wouldn’t burn, so she carried around his literal heart with her wherever she went. Eventually, the heart passed on to their son. His tomb is nothing eventful except for the fact it carries the heart of his father.
