“Universally, human beings understand the concept of death, which is the end of a person’s life. Across most cultures, special arrangements like a funeral are conducted.

And as the medium shifts from oratory, to print, to broadcast, and currently to digital media, this is where UX comes into play with its own interpretations.”
