The macabre travelogue is a thoughtful reflection and a smart critique of the American funeral industry, with plenty of gallows humor thrown in., It sounds a bit like Eat, Pray, Die, but her project is much larger than its premise first implies. She is searching not for personal spiritual enlightenment or the morbid titillation of thana-tourism, but for practical, radical alternatives to our corporatized death industry. Her travels illuminate a host of compelling possibilities for better funerals and a less fraught relationship with our dead., From Here To Eternity is fascinating, thought-provoking and - who would have guessed? - sometimes funny. Put it on your bucket list., Doughty finds the humanity in others cultures' relationship with death that seems to be lacking in ours., From Here To Eternity is fascinating, thought-provoking and--who would have guessed?--sometimes funny.

Synopsis
A New York Times and Los Angeles Times Bestseller "Doughty chronicles [death] practices with tenderheartedness, a technician's fascination, and an unsentimental respect for grief." --Jill Lepore, The New Yorker Fascinated by our pervasive fear of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty embarks on a global expedition to discover how other cultures care for the dead. From Zoroastrian sky burials to wish-granting Bolivian skulls, she investigates the world's funerary customs and expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with dignity. Her account questions the rituals of the American funeral industry--especially chemical embalming--and suggests that the most effective traditions are those that allow mourners to personally attend to the body of the deceased. Exquisitely illustrated by artist Landis Blair, From Here to Eternity is an adventure into the morbid unknown, a fascinating tour through the unique ways people everywhere confront mortality., A New York Times and Los Angeles Times Bestseller "Doughty chronicles [death] practices with tenderheartedness, a technician's fascination, and an unsentimental respect for grief." --Jill Lepore, The New Yorker, Fascinated by our pervasive fear of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty embarks on a global expedition to discover how other cultures care for the dead.
