Description
From Here to Eternity: Travelling the World to Find the Good Death
Caitlin Doughty's journey takes her to the farthest reaches of the globe in search of cultures that have found innovative ways to approach death. With curiosity and a touch of morbid humour, she delves into the world of death-care innovators, death practices and mourning rituals that are vastly different from our own.
From a futuristic glowing-Buddha columbarium in Japan to a candlelit Mexican cemetery, Doughty's travels reveal unexpected possibilities for our own death rituals and challenge our understanding of what it means to treat the dead with dignity.
