It becomes a different reality when that's true. Your relationship to that idea of death changes. Whereas if you're somebody just going along, say born in the 70s, both your grandparents are alive, both your parents are alive, your siblings are alive, your mom might have had a miscarriage, but basically everybody you know is alive. And they're alive for a really long time.

There's lots of people who have grandparents today, and they're in their 30s and 40s. That's not going to be true as much in 1900.

Because if you really think about how we mourn the dead in that period, say from 1950s and quite recently, it's really the family's going to go to the funeral. People are going to come.
