Customer Reviews

Great choice of book for general information

The book provides a good genralised outline of the processes that human remains go through. It is a wonderful starting point for the examination of death and burial. However if a more detailed account is required it will not suffice. As such it is a stepping stone to a more in depth investigation of death and burial. It tells you where to start and what avenues to take in your knowledge quest. It is not a book clouded by other issues.
