Pomuch, a town in Mexico with 10,000 people, holds a unique tradition. Every year, residents dig up their relatives’ bones to clean them. They do this with love and care, showing respect for the dead. Jorge Jurado, 66, cleans the bones of his wife’s first husband carefully. His wife, Maria Luisa Euan, watches with affection. This ritual is a sign of love and remembrance. Recently, more tourists have started visiting Pomuch to see this tradition. Local officials see this as an opportunity but also a challenge. Pomuch is one of the last places in Mexico where this ritual is still alive. The event shows how people honor their ancestors in a special way. (Updated 2 Nov 2025, 15:41 IST; source: link)
