Using the motif of 'words against death' it depicts human responses to grief by surveying the many ways in which people have not let death have the last word, not simply in terms of funeral rites but also in memorials, graves, and in ideas of ancestors, souls, gods, reincarnation and resurrection, whether in the great religious traditions of the world or in more local customs. He also examines bereavement and grief, experiences of the presence of dead, near-death experiences, pet-death and the symbolic death played out in religious rites."--Back cover 650 0 $a Death $x Religious aspects $v Comparative studies. 650 0 $a Funeral rites and ceremonies. 650 6 $a Mort $x Aspect religieux $v EÌtudes comparatives. 650 6 $a FuneÌrailles $x Rites et ceÌreÌmonies. 650 7 $a funerals. $2 aat 650 7 $a 73.57 cult, rites (ethnology) $0 (NL-LeOCL)077610725 $2 bcl 650 7 $a Death $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888649 650 7 $a Funeral rites and ceremonies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00936223 650 7 $a Bestattungsritus $2 gnd 650 7 $a Religion $2 gnd 650 7 $a Tod $2 gnd 650 7 $a Ritual $2 gnd 650 7 $a Ritus $2 gnd 650 7 $a Trauerritual $2 gnd 650 7 $a Death $x Religious aspects $v Comparative studies $2 nli 650 7 $a Funeral rites and ceremonies $2 nli 655 7 $a Comparative studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423767 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781474250979 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718093059.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D9A0A7B2214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
