Why do we embalm the deceased? Why are funerals so expensive? Is there a reason coffins are shaped the way they are? Where does the tradition of viewing the body come from? Ceremonies for honoring the deceased are crucial parts of our lives, but few people know where our traditional practices come from—and what they reveal about our history, culture, and beliefs about death. In Last Rites, author Todd Harra takes listeners on a fascinating exploration of American funeral customs—exploring where they came from, what they mean, and how they are still evolving.

Thoreau once said that the Mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. Thanks to a society where men are expected to die on top of their white horse rather than fall off, men are isolated, now more than ever. In my own life, where I lost two marriages, I kept to myself and lived a life unrequited, I never felt comfortable enough to share my vulnerability with others and, instead, turned all my fears and shame inward.

તમે માનો કે ના માનો પણ જિંદગીનું સત્ય એ છે કે, ૯૦ ટકાથી વધારે પુરુષ તેમજ મહિલાઓ ભારતમાં જ નહીં બલ્કે સંપૂર્ણ વિશ્વમાં પોતાના દિલની વાત બીજાથી નથી કહી શકતા. જ્યારે આપણે પોતાના દિલની વાત બીજાથી નથી કહી શકતા, તો એક વિચિત્ર પ્રકારની ગુંગળામણ ઉત્પન્ન થાય છે અને મન વિચલિત રહે છે. આ પુસ્તક સંપૂર્ણ માનવ જાતિના ફાયદા માટે લખવામાં આવી છે, જેથી દરેક વાચકને એ જાણ થઈ શકે કે, ફક્ત એ જ નહીં બલ્કે લાખો-કરોડો વ્યક્તિ પોતાના દિલની વાત બીજાઓથી નથી કહી શકતા.

As late as the 1960s, the Wari' Indians of the western Amazonian rainforest ate the roasted flesh of their dead as an expression of compassion for the deceased and for his or her close relatives. By removing and transforming the corpse, Wari' death rites helped the bereaved kin accept their loss and go on with their lives. Drawing on the recollections of Wari' elders who participated in consuming the dead, this book presents one of the richest, most authoritative ethnographic accounts of funerary cannibalism ever recorded.
