From Here to Eternity - by Caitlin Doughty

From Here to Eternity: A Global Journey into the World's Most Unusual Funeral Rituals by Caitlin Doughty is a thought-provoking, deeply moving book that takes you on an immersive global journey to discover how other cultures care for their dead.

As a mortician, Doughty sets out to explore the world's funerary history and introduces compelling, powerful rituals almost entirely unknown in America.

With boundless curiosity and gallows humor, she vividly describes decomposed bodies and investigates the world's funerary history, introducing deathcare innovators researching body composting and green burial.

Through her journey, Doughty argues that the American funeral industry sells a particular--and peculiar--set of "respectful" rites that foster a corrosive fear of death, hindering our ability to cope and mourn.

By comparing customs from Mexico's Días de los Muertos to Zoroastrian sky burial, she demonstrates how varied traditions help us see our own death customs in a new light.

With exquisite illustrations by artist Landis Blair, From Here to Eternity is an adventure into the morbid unknown, a story about the many fascinating ways people everywhere have confronted the very human challenge of mortality.

This book will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the diverse ways cultures handle death and dying, and inspire you to rethink your own beliefs and practices.
