Another joke around death

kannada films (even telugu & tamil ones AFAIK) seem to glorify death & scenes following one. I dont know who likes to watch the gory details when there is a death in hero's family. But film makers seem to use precious reel time showing each step in detail. They show everything from covering the dead body's face with the white cloth to hero getting a mundan!

This was the root cause for another joke on death by kids the other day. They obviously have seen a few such scenes on TV & have a fair understanding on what is death.
I happened to overhear one of the conversations they had in the balcony with kriti (their friend): "why do they put cotton in dead man's nose?"
I think it was nidhi who responded to that question - "so that he does not become alive again"
