Why do they collect human bones? And where do they get them from?

***Welcome to Taboo Education- Let’s Talk Death!***
Taboo Education is created by Sam (an Aussie psychotherapist) and Gary (your friendly neighbourhood ghost).
Taboo Education is a community education channel centred around issues related to death and dying. We aim to create change in our healthcare system, legal system, and family dynamics by helping people start the death conversation with their families and themselves.
The channel covers death issues from all angles including historical, anthropological, biological, financial, environmental, and practical. We aim to provide both practical and thought-provoking videos in an often frank and humorous way in order to break the ice!
Also, we are now a company! Yes, you can book online individual educational consultations with us regarding anything death and dying-related that you need help with. We also provide large-scale group workshops and presentations custom to your group's needs. Downloadable resources are also available. Head to our website for more information
