Caitlin Doughty never disappoints me. I love her witty, sensitive, passionate writing about death culture, and especially how she is willing to go toe to toe with corporatized American funeral homes/industry. So cool reading about other funerary traditions around the world and always makes me a lil happy/sad to think about how well cared for some folks remains are and how many do not get that treatment

An interesting and insightful look at traditional and modern death care around the world. This book has changed my perspective on the funeral industry and sparked a curiosity I didn't even know I had!
