In general the book talks about death in depth including different cultural beliefs and actions regarding the process. There is one description of animal sacrifice that is fairly explicit, and an intense recounting of circumstances to terminating a wanted pregnancy due to terminal illness and risk of miscarriage/early infant death, not only in regards to emotions and procedures but also the reactions of anti-choice protesters.leweylibrary's review against another edition

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.
