South Korea's Fake Funerals


In order to decrease their record suicide rates, South Korea has developed a fear tactic/program that is aimed at helping its citizens better appreciate their lives. This program of betterment and appreciation involves staging individuals' fake deaths! In this program people are encouraged to write their last will and testament, read their wills aloud and eventually get buried alive!
