As a practising mortician, Caitlin Doughty has long been fascinated by our pervasive terror of dead bodies. In From Here to Eternity, she sets out in search of cultures unburdened by such fears.

In rural Indonesia, she observes a man clean and dress his grandfather's mummified body. She meets Bolivian ñatitas (cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls) and introduces us to the Japanese ritual of kotsuage, in which relatives use chopsticks to pluck their loved ones' bones from cremation ashes.

With curiosity and morbid humour, Doughty introduces us to inspiring death-care innovators, participates in powerful death practices almost entirely unknown in the West and explores new spaces for mourning - including a futuristic glowing-Buddha columbarium in Japan, a candlelit Mexican cemetery and America's only open-air pyre. In doing so she expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with dignity and reveals unexpected possibilities for our own death rituals.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this work. the author has a lovely voice and her reading style is nice to listen to, varied voice and pace.

the content was thought provoking and vivid. I could see myself alongside her and imagine the scenes easily. I found myself questioning my outlook on death and it rituals around it. I found much comfort through this book



whether you are comfortable with death or fear it I would highly recommend this audio book!

amazing and thought provoking

Thoroughly enjoyed the book. I want to seek to more death rituals around the world and love how you also pointed out how not to act. I'm often embarrassed by the lack of tact western travellers make when being guests in sacred ritual. Incredible book that I would absolutely recommend to friends but especially family.
