This book has outstanding photographs of death culture from around the world! Checking out this book is worth it 5/5 stars just for the photography alone! I've learned a lot about other cultures death ceremonies and monuments and it is a shame that death culture is not prominent in the US. This is a must if you are morbidly curious! You can special order this book at the Colona Public Library! ~Ashley

This is a stunning ‘coffee table’ book with incredible photographs from around the world, which is really what this book is all about.
However, some points within the text are a bit repetitive and, most significantly, some of the writing is hard to read because of the colour of the background chosen.

The book’s introduction is worth its price for the knowledge gained about the transformation that has resulted in Western culture’s current bizarre denial of death. The beautiful photographs and stories from around the world make this work even more important.
