From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death
by Caitlin Doughty
Doughty travels to several countries to observe death rituals in order to show her readers the various ways people try to make sense of death. She has a direct approach, yet she manages to maintain warmth as she describes the humanity that remains in people mourning their dead.
She takes us on adventures in Colorado, Indonesia, Mexico, North Carolina, Barcelona, Tokyo, Bolivia, and California. We observe parades, fully dressed corpses, prophesying skulls, natural burials (including sky burials), and other wonders.
The book demonstrates that people are imaginative, and resilient in the face of loss and destruction. Life can be full of pain, but people are full of wonder and creativity.
