House Funerals and Honoured Containers: How Our Objects Tell Our Stories

The link between objects and people is absolute. Have you ever had a mini funeral to burn your ex’s letters or presents or even taken the time to pack up the person’s belongings and return them? This was because the objects held a significance, a reminder, a set of memories you no longer wanted to confront. Our objects are important pieces of our identity and an integral part of our traditional foods.
