Carved pumpkins begin to decay very quickly and do not last a day or two after Halloween. These dying, rotting corpses of our very own Jack-o-lanterns that have a foul smell and attract flies need to be discarded soon. But it seems so cruel to just let our hard-worked faces be thrown into trash without giving them a dignified burial. Many of us hold Jack-o-lantern parties and pumpkin-carving contests on Halloween and to throw away all the fun moments we share with them seems difficult. So, we suggest you to extend the Halloween season for one more day and start a new family tradition of giving a proper burial to Jack O' Lanterns after Halloween night.
It is especially fun for family gatherings and keeps the children interested for one more day as they dig a grave for burying the pumpkins. This tradition is certain to please the Great Pumpkin. You may even write a special eulogy for these pumpkins. The other fun ideas for pumpkin burial may include putting other Halloween trivia in for the pumpkins to enjoy Halloween in the other world too just like the pharaohs of the Egypt, who used to be buried with all the treasure and the best things to be used by them in the other world. Halloween confetti, cobwebs and even some candies can join the pumpkins in their graves as a gift for the departed. May your Jack-o-lanterns rest in peace.
