As a practising mortician, Caitlin Doughty has long been fascinated
by our pervasive terror of dead bodies. In From Here to Eternity
she sets out in search of cultures unburdened by such fears. With
curiosity and morbid humour, Doughty introduces us to inspiring
death-care innovators, participates in powerful death practices
almost entirely unknown in the West and explores new spaces for
mourning - including a futuristic glowing-Buddha columbarium in
Japan, a candlelit Mexican cemetery, and America's only open-air
pyre. In doing so she expands our sense of what it means to treat
the dead with 'dignity' and reveals unexpected possibilities for
our own death rituals.
