Final Departures Book

A whistle-stop tour of death around the world, from the mummies of ancient Egypt, to the funerals of Elvis and John Lennon, and on into the future.Death comes to us all, yet it remains one of the great mysteries of our existence. We talk little about what it means to die or of the many rituals and processes by which we mark the end of life. Now, Barry Albin Dyer, Britain?s most cosmopolitan undertaker, takes us on a tour of death around the world. He introduces us to an astonishing variety of attitudes and practices: some gruesome, some bizarre, many poignant and beautiful. He surveys his topic from ancient times, to the techno-funerals of modernday Korea, into the future, when it will be possible to have your ashes launched into space. He also tells the stories of famous deaths, such as those of Elvis, Diana, and Evita?as well as those less famous, but equally unique.Read More
