Excellent book for someone who is interested in the different religious cultures regarding death and dying. I am a nurse who is pursuing palliative care/hospice. As a nurse, social worker, or someone who works with dealing with various cultures, you encounter individuals with different religious beliefs. This is a great overview to help you understand different rituals and beliefs that you might encounter in your practice and how to accommodate the grieving families during this difficult time.

This book is sadly out of date, using examples that are no longer apt because of changes in requirements for cultural literacy in a multitude of settings. It also has a chapter that describes the "Mexican-American" experience by telling the story of a woman from Puerto Rico. Dear Editors -- these are two different countries. The chapter continued to discuss only Day of the Dead in Mexico. I'm sure the Mexican-American experience with death reaches beyond that.

This book is a wonderful tool for insight to how people deal with the world differently than we do. The book covers a wide range of religions, genders, ethnicities and other cultural components.

Very easy to understand and useful in my learning and understanding more about the subject of Grief and Loss from a cultural perspective

It has become a staple in our Funeral Consumers Alliance of MN's library

very informative

Satisfy
