The death ritual consists of three major phases: costume, decay, and complete erasure. While these three phases will not always happen during a person’s death, they are good for practice.

1. Costume: When one begins of age and is ready to start the death ritual, it is important to buy the right costume to prepare. In small shops all around the country, you may be able to find the proper mask and sleeping attire. Prices usually run between $500-$1000.

2. Decay: With the proper costume on, you must lie back in your bed, clearing your thoughts as much as possible. Your mind will naturally go to sleep mode, but as soon as it detects the presence of the costume, special hormones are released, simulating death. This phase may be painful for some, especially when one is a beginner, so be careful.

3. Complete Erasure: The pinnacle of the three trials. It is only possible to gauge the success of this phase from an outside perspective. You, of course, will feel nothing, do nothing, and be nothing. From your perspective, when you awake, it’ll be as if no time has passed.

If you experience any side effects during your death ritual, please consult a mortician. In some rare cases, it has been discovered that a person has died without being aware of their own death. We call these cases “technical glitches” because their death does not follow the proper protocol.

On the other hand, it is normal to experience mild hallucinations while in the “complete erasure” stage. Our science may not be perfect, but we aim to bring you as close as we can to the complete death experience. If these hallucinations persist for a long period of time, let us know.

While it is recommended to perform the death ritual every single night, it is okay if you only do it 3-5 nights a week. A regular check-in with a doctor about your plans for death is a healthy alternative to these rituals as well. Being aware of your own mortality makes life easier to live.
