Every living thing must die, but only human beings know it. This
knowledge can bring to the living, anxiety and despair or new
richness and meaning. This volume explores the problems and
possibilities of coping with this universal experience.
Death is a constant in every society, but each of the world's
cultures views the end of life differently. This book examines
beliefs about dying, burial, and life after death held by peoples
of wide ranging societies.
This text is not just another reader on death, but rather a
carefully developed book, created specifically for those persons
whose major interests are either death education, death counseling,
or, of course, both. The audience which this book addresses
include: persons who have had either experience in death counseling
or education or previous academic work; those who are contemplating
professional work in the field or who are already in the process of
developing this area as one of their fields of competence; and
individuals who are already either counselors or educators or
otherwise involved in the fields of mental health or education and
who wish to learn more about the relationship of death and grief to
their work.
The intent of Death and Ethnicity emphasizes that death occurs to
us as unique individuals living within particular sociocultural
settings. Those who provide and plan services need to recognize
both the differences among groups and the differences among
individuals within these groups; and to provide options for those
representative of their group as well as for those whose wants and
needs are atypical. This book is valuable for those who plan
projects, programs, courses, and services concerned with death and
bereavement, and those who fund, plan, direct, and perform those
services.

well as the many stresses and burdens faced by the survivors.
