Celebration of death

I am so impressed with the information in this book, it has been an asset for my research.

Good Book for a new Anthropologist

This is a good book which deals with funerary rites and traditions. It looks at how death is celebrated in various countries and through different cultures. I gave it four stars instead of five as I had hoped it would have dealt more with persons from an African and Aborigine environments.

Groundbreaking ethnographies

This is by far the most enjoyable and fascinating comparative case-studies I've read concerning treatment of the dead in Southeast Asia. I suggest this book to anyone wishing to crossculturally examine views of the deceased and the rituals associated with death. Superb, absolutely brilliant. Raven Digitalis
