Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-20 00:00:00 Berk Anla This book has some really diluted surveys of death rituals throughout the great world relgions. I guess the only thing readers might find value in is the section of the book dealing with contemporary death rituals under phenomenological contexts. Like, the chapter about spontaneous shrines was really interesting, and so was the chapter on postmodern, personalized funerals. Otherwise, the content of the rest of the book is just too thin to give it my full appreciation. Ambitious endeavor, but maybe the book would have been better as a series of books on death rituals.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-05 00:00:00 Adriene Crubbrest A series of essays, based on lectures, rather than a full case study. Larner's insights were often brilliant.
