What is MuMufication?
MuMufication is a new form of memorialisation, a funeral ceremony for like-minded people irrespective of creed or background.
MuMufication is the act of having a small portion of cremated human remains fired in a Brick of Mu and laid in The Peoples Pyramid.
Bricks of Mu are laid at the brick laying ceremony every year on The Peoples Day of Death, now known as THE BIRKENHEAD DAY OF THE DEAD (formerly known as Toxteth Day of the Dead).
The The Birkenhead Day of the Dead takes place each year on the nearest Saturday to 23rd November.
Why MuMufication?
To remember. To mourn. To build the People’s Pyramid.
HOW Do I GET MUMUFICATION?
GET MuMufication
On getting MuMufication you will receive:
- A Brick of Mu*
- A Certificate of MuMufication signed by the directors of K2 Plant Hire Ltd
- Instructions and a MuMufication Registration Form
Get Now. Die Later.
* A Brick of Mu is a handmade brick with a hole in the centre that is filled with a small portion cremated remains. It is recommended that you place your Brick of Mu on your mantlepiece to remind you how vital each passing day is. Or hide it under your bed in an effort to deny the transience of life.
Who can Get MuMufication?
MuMufication is for anyone cremated who wants to be part of the People’s Pyramid. There are no religious or other requirements to join. Just ensure your family and friends are aware of your wishes.
Who can’t Get MuMufication?
The Peoples Pyramid is built of human remains and therefore we cannot accept cremated remains of pets or sentimental inanimate objects*.
*K2 Plant Hire Ltd are building The People’s Pyramid, not The Pet’s Pyramid or The Meaningful Inanimate Object’s Pyramid.
Can I Get MuMufication for someone who is already dead?
Yes, particularly if you think they would have appreciated it and there is a consensus amongst friends and family.
If you are registering MuMufication for someone already dead you can choose not to be sent the brick, and simply send us the remains. [we can add an option at checkout].
Can I have a regular funeral and still Get MuMufication?
A: Yes. Only 23 grams of cremated remains are needed for MuMufication. MuMufication is complimentary to all other funeral ceremonies.
I have cremated human remains ready for MuMufication. What do I do next?
If you haven’t already, get MuMufication HERE then contact us at admin@thepeoplespyramid.org for further instructions.
What happens once the Brick of Mu and remains are sent back?
23 grams of remains are placed in a hole in the Brick of Mu, which is then re-fired in a kiln at 1100ºC until the bones form a glaze and fuse with the brick.
New Bricks of Mu are ceremonially laid in the People’s Pyramid once a year on the nearest Saturday to 23rd November – the Birkenhead Day of the Dead.
What is The Birkenhead Day of the Dead?
The Birkenhead Day of the Dead (formerly known as The Peoples Day of Death and Toxteth Day of the Dead) is a day of celebration and mourning. It is a day when people can gather together to witness new Bricks of Mu being laid and watch the People’s Pyramid being built. The ceremonies and events around this evolve and change from year to year.
As of 21st November 2026, the celebrations, rituals and building of the pyramid will happen in Birkenhead on The Birkenhead Day of the Dead.
The Birkenhead Day of the Dead will happen on the nearest Saturday to the 23rd November until further notice.
When is the next Birkenhead Day of the Dead?
2026: Saturday 21st November
2027: Saturday 20th November
2028: Saturday 25th November

Where is The Peoples Pyramid?
The Peoples Pyramid is currently being built on its foundation stone and housed in a customised shipping container. This is so it can be moved to different sites for each Birkenhead Day of the Dead until a permanent site is found.
The container is currently kept at a secret location in Birkenhead and the bricklaying ceremonies for 2025 and 2026 were/are to be held in Birkenhead Park (aka The People’s Garden) with the day’s activities and AfterLife Party held at Future Yard.
We are hoping to find a permanent site in Birkenhead.
When will the People’s Pyramid be completed?
The People’s Pyramid will start as a small pyramid and grow upwards and outwards each year as more bricks are added. When 34,592 bricks have been laid and the People’s Pyramid stands 23 feet high, it will be complete. This will take 300 years or more.
Can I buy Merch?
Yes, from the Merchants of Death on this site HERE. All profits from Merch sales go towards building The Peoples Pyramid.
I have another question.
