"Not only a fascinating travelogue but also a personal meditation
on loss and fate...There is a wealth to discover within these
pages."--The EconomistJournalist Sarah Murray never gave much
thought to what might ultimately happen to her remains--until her
father died. Puzzled by the choices he made about the disposal of
his "organic matter," she embarks on a series of journeys to
discover how death is commemorated in different cultures. Her
travels lead her to discover everything from a Czech chandelier of
human bones and a weeping ceremony in Iran to a Philippine village
where the casketed dead hang in caves.Fascinating, poignant, and
often funny, "Making an Exit" is Murray's exploration of the ways
in which we seek to dignify the dead--and a deeply personal quest
for a final send-off of her own.
