Death comes to all living things on earth, but in many cultures, death is not the end but rather a transition from one existence to another. And in many cultures, there is a being whose presence heralds death's arrival and guides the deceased to the afterlife: the psychopomp. The most famous depiction of a psychopomp may be the grim reaper, but as you'll soon find out, psychopomps come in a variety of shapes and sizes!
