The Czechs have pushed death aside.
When we appear on various media outlets, we get asked similar questions over and over again by the hosts:
Are most deaths really without a funeral? (A large percentage are.)
What does a traditional Czech funeral look like? (There isn't one.)
How Do Funeral Services Work? (Some Are Better, Some Are Worse)
What can you do with ashes? (Basically anything, but with respect and with permission)
Everything points to the fact that death is a taboo subject in the Czech Republic; there are plenty of myths circulating about it, and in reality, most people have no idea what happens after a dead body is discovered.
That’s why we’re glad to see Ms. Drtinová on DVTV genuinely seeking the truth, discussing ethics in the funeral industry, and helping us unravel this great mystery that surrounds death and burial.
“No one is afraid of getting pregnant just by talking about sex, but when people start talking about death, everyone is afraid they’ll bring it on,” said our Oleg.
So if you, too, don’t want everything to just run its course after the death of a loved one, start preparing now. For example, by watching us on DVTV.
