Can... Can people just... have their relatives' bones? To make things with?
My question is, who in their right mind is carving out their relative's bones from the meat?
concentrating on this reasonable question is good, so i can stop thinking about the origin of the topic.
Burying does not get rid of the bones, and in many cultures (past and present) the dead stay in the ground only for a limited time (most people can't afford to pay a grave site in perpetuity), then their (then clean) bones are moved to a smaller permanent storage, or apparently made into a guitar.
Ah, of course! I was thinking cremation would make the bones brittle, but unburying them makes more sense.
