About this book
Funeral customs around the world give Caitlin Doughty a way to question American approaches to death and mourning. From Here to Eternity compares traditions in places including Indonesia, Japan and Bolivia with the practices of the American funeral industry. Doughty argues for greater family participation in caring for the deceased and considers alternatives such as green burial and body composting.
