Death in the Cook Islands
Death in the Cook Islands is regarded very differently than by the western world. Loved ones who have passed away are kept close to home and are literally buried in the back garden.
The memorials also provide a cool place to sleep in the heat of Summer.
I am a forty something IT professional. I work for a health consultancy providing capacity planning and patient flow services to hospitals across the world.
I am married to Yvonne, a teacher of Business Studies and Economics and have two great children, Jake and Kirsty.
We emigrated to Christchurch, New Zealand from a village Holme-on-Spalding Moor in the East Riding of Yorkshire in the United Kingdom in June 2006.
