Sometimes these rituals involved the burning of entire ships -- and even human sacrifice. And if something was done incorrectly, they risked the dead returning as a zombie-like draugr. This book details fascinating ways people commemorate, celebrate, and mourn the passing of loved ones. From Viking funeral pyres, to postmortem photographs in Victorian England, to death masks -- made using actual dead bodies as the mask's mold -- these six topics are sure to engage readers as they journey around the world to discover the rituals and traditions surrounding death in ancient times, up to today. 505 0 $a Rituals and traditions -- Viking funerals -- Death masks -- Covered mirrors -- Professional mourners -- New Orleans jazz funerals -- Post-mortem photographs -- Rituals and traditions facts. 521 1 $a Ages 10-14. 650 0 $a Death $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Funeral rites and ceremonies $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Manners and customs $v Juvenile literature. 800 1 $a Gottschall, Meghan. $t Death uncovered. 941 $a 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20231102014337.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B329284794811EE8DD2691B42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
