I have the app We Croak on my phone. It posts a remembrance about death or living fully 5 times a day. This is based on the wisdom of the people of Bhutan who say if you contemplate your death 5 times a day you will live a happy life. It works for me.

Excellent thank you. I was going to post a photo I took at a church museum this week but I don’t think you can. Never mind, it was of a mock up of a catafalque. A mock coffin draped in black that used to be placed in the church with long candles in November so the faithful could pay to their dead. As you say, death was part and parcel of life!
