Traditional funeral food from around the world

Ukraine – Kolachi

Kolachi are sweet ring-shaped bread loafs, often in a decorative woven pattern, and are usually common in countries like Russia, Romania and Ukraine.

It’s not just funeral food though, they sometimes use Kolachi during wedding ceremonies and on Christmas Eve.

Mexico- Pan de Muertos

Translating to ‘bread of the dead’, these sweet rolls are traditionally baked in Mexico for the Day of the Dead festival in November, when Mexicans commemorate their loved ones who have passed.

The soft, sweet bread rolls can vary according to regional recipes, and are sometimes shaped like animals and people with colourful decorations.
