Editorial Reviews
Review
Death and Bereavement Across Cultures provides a much needed cross-cultural perspective of issues related to death, dying, and bereavement. This book is an important resource for all those who wish to broaden their perspective of death.
–Cheryl Mallernee McGaffic, Nursing Leadership Forum

This handbook provides a resource designed to meet the needs of doctors, nurses and social workers, counselors and others involved in the care of the dying and the bereaved... This book explores rich mourning traditions around the world, with the goal of increasing the understanding which we all bring to the isssue of death.
–Abstracts in Social Gerontology: Current Literature on Aging, December 1997 Vol.40 No.4

This book would make a unique contribution to either undergraduate or seminary courses in religion, anthropology, sociology, or cross-cultural studies.
