Tutu Discusses Differences In Death and Dying Rituals

Naomi Tutu, daughter of Archishop Desmond Tutu, shared her experiences with the rituals surrounding death and dying in her home country of South Africa and in the United States. She contrasted the more private, shorter rituals often found in the U.S. with the more communal rituals, often taking place over a year, in South Africa. Ms. Tutu spoke at Union College on behalf of the Foundation for Hospices in Sub-Saharan Africa.
