The Anthropophagy-Rites
         of the Yamomami

The Yamomami tribe is indigenous to Venezuela and Brazil, and practices the odd funerary custom of ingesting the ashes of their dead in order to save their souls. It is prohibited to keep any part of the deceased person, and the body is cremated immediately. The ashes are then consumed. Strength, prosperity and bravery will then follow the spirit of the dead through the ordeals of the ever after.
