Why People Practise Dying: South Korea's Living Funerals & Coffin Therapy | Good Death Innovators

Faced with a rapidly ageing demographic and a surge in isolated deaths, East Asia is undergoing a radical shift in how it handles the end of life. This episode highlights the physical and social innovations helping the elderly strip away rigid, expensive ancestral traditions to reclaim their final moments. In Taiwan and South Korea, we step inside 'living funerals' where participants lie in mock coffins, using the shock of facing their own end to cure depression and find renewed purpose. In Japan, strangers are forming chosen families, purchasing shared cemetery plots to support each other and stave off the fear of dying alone. Meanwhile, innovators are bypassing the traditional headstone entirely. From GPS-tracked garden burials to custom-built drones scattering ashes into the open sky, this episode showcases how people are redesigning the funeral industry to ensure they leave on their own terms, with absolutely no regrets. 00:00 Introduction 02:16 Attending his own funeral through Taiwan's 'Hekali' 13:04 South Korea's "Well-Dying" Boot Camp for elderly 23:32 Japanese women purchasing shared plots with strangers 35:13 Japan's GPS garden burials 40:34 Ash-scattering drones for those who die without family. ================= ABOUT THE SHOW: Holograms, drones, and mock coffins: How East Asia is rewriting the rules of mortality ================= #CNAInsider #CNAGoodDeathInnovators #Japan #Taiwan #SouthKorea #Death #Tech #Grief For more, SUBSCRIBE to CNA INSIDER https://cna.asia/insideryoutubesub Follow CNA INSIDER on: Telegram: https://t.me/CNAInsiderSG Instagram:   / cnainsider
