Describing a great variety of funeral ritual from major world
religions and from local traditions, this book shows how cultures
not only cope with corpses but also create an added value for
living through the encouragement of afterlife beliefs. The
explosion of interest in death in recent years reflects the key
theme of this book - the rhetoric of death - the way cultures use
the most potent weapon of words to bring new power to life. This
new edition is one third longer than the original with new material
on the death of Jesus, the most theorized death ever which offers a
useful case study for students. There is also empirical material
from contemporary/recent events such as the death of Diana and an
expanded section on theories of grief which will make the book more
attractive to death counsellors.
