DVTV: A funeral should start sadly and end happily. Oleg Vojtíšek in an interview with Daniela Drtinová
Czechs have repressed death.
When we go through various media, we keep getting similar questions from moderators:
Is the majority of deaths really without a ceremony? (A large percentage yes)
What does a traditional Czech funeral look like? (It doesn't exist)
How does it work with funeral services? (Better somewhere, worse somewhere else)
What can you do with ashes? (Actually anything, but with respect and consent)
Everything shows that the topic of death is taboo in the Czech Republic, there are many myths circulating about it, and in reality most people have no idea what happens after a dead body appears.
That's why we're always happy to see Ms. Drtinová on DVTV really digging into reality, debating ethics in the funeral industry, and helping us uncover the great mystery surrounding death and funerals.
"No one's afraid of getting pregnant from talking about sex, but when they start talking about death, everyone's afraid they'll bring it on themselves," said our Oleg.
So, if you don't want everything to run on autopilot after the death of your loved one, start preparing now. Maybe by listening to us on DVTV.
