Description
The current situation of death education in mainland China starts late and lags relatively behind development compared with the developed countries in the West, which is related to the traditional cultural perception in China.By the lack of death education, people are still reluctant to talk about death with their friends and family, which is not conducive to society’s development and mental health. This causes many young people to suffer psychological problems when facing death for the first time and also contributes to the poor quality of death in China.
The object of this study is to make up for the lack of death education in China by finding a way to help people initiate this difficult but necessary conversation and confront death earlier.
This dissertation presents a solution as a tombstone for the living. Practicing a human-centered design approach. Remind people that life is finite, they need to determine their priorities. Encourage them to engage in death-related reflection and discussion with those close to them so that death can become a truly prepared ritual rather than a rushed, abrupt end. Meanwhile, combine with the function of daily furniture to make it better integrated into daily life, so that the impact can start more easily and last more deeply.
