Every human culture has developed rituals for mourning because the rituals do something that mere time does not: they create a held container for grief, signal to the community that this death matters, give the bereaved a structured form for their formless sorrow, and connect the loss to something larger than the individual. This domain examines grief rituals across cultures for what they accomplish, drawing on the remarkable diversity of practice and the consistent underlying function.
