Death rite ritual

Do you want to keep the spirit of some dead family member with you ? Let me tell you a way. The Amazonian tribe of Yanomami perform a very weird death ritual. They organize a ceremony in which dead ones are burned and the remaining ashes and bones are mixed with banana in a pot. Then they eat this mixture and recall memories of their dead relatives. According to them, it is the only way to keep spirit of dead one among them.
