This is a beautiful collection of the author's recounts of her travels, constantly questioning why we have this separation and fear of our dead. It was a short but interesting overview of how a few different cultures remember, celebrate, and care for their community members in death practices. The way we (speaking from Australia) treat death is so sanitised, this book feels hopeful in challenging some of our psychological blocks surrounding it.
I for one, can't wait to disintegrate into human compost.

One tiny thing was that when she was in Belize I was hoping she'd talk about why the graves are aboveground - when I visited there it was something I'd noticed and always wondered about, but the section was pretty short and she never explained it. Ah well.
