The Encyclopedia of Cremation is the first major reference resource
focused on cremation. Spanning many world cultures it documents
regional histories, ideological movements and leading individuals
that fostered cremation whilst also presenting cremation as a
universal practice. Tracing ancient and classical cremation sites,
historical and contemporary cremation processes and procedures of
both scientific and legal kind, the encyclopedia also includes
sections on specific cremation rituals, architecture, art and text.
Features in the volume include: a general introduction and
editorial introductions to sub-sections by Douglas Davies', an
international specialist in death studies; appendices of world
cremation statistics and a chronology of cremation;
cross-referencing pathways through the entries via the index;
individual entry bibliographies; and illustrations. This major
international reference work is also an essential source book for
students on the growing number of death-studies courses and wider
studies in religion, anthropology or sociology.
