The burial man advised the Russians not to leave food in the cemetery
The digger of graves from the Leningrad Region Konstantin Strugov told the “cold” that he considers the strange tradition of Russians to leave food in cemeteries. In his opinion, in the modern world there is no sense in this.
“I am an adherent that when a person performs some action so that he knows why he was doing this. And not "my grandmother did that, great -grandmother, which means I will." They say that they did this before, because the pilgrims went from the village to the village, and they did not take food with them. Therefore, other people left her in cemeteries - so that the pilgrim could have a bite, pray for the deceased and go further, ”says Strugov.

Strugov believes that during life it is important to talk about how a person wants to be buried. He is surprised that the topic of death in society is taboo, "although we will all be there." Strugov advises not to be afraid of death and funeral and calls to think that life will someday end. He believes that this will help people cherish their time and spend it with meaning. The burialist believes that his work helps him more philosophically relate to death.
“A hundred years ago, the coffins of our ancestors were stored in attics with things already prepared in advance for the funeral. It was normal: people simply did not want to burden their relatives. It was just that children and loved ones had to bury a person without unnecessary trouble. When the coffin lies in the attic, a person understands that tomorrow it may not come, and can spend this time productively - for example, with a family. This is an extra reason to think about how he will live the remaining years, ”said Strugov.
