Synopsis "Funeral Customs: Their Origin and Development (in English)"
Puckle's "Funeral Customs" is one of the more in-depth looks at death ever penned. Created in the early 20th century, it casts a rational and skeptical glance at the superstitions of burial practices and cremation alike, and lists in some detail the customs of death over time and changes to them during the black death and then-modernity among other eras. Not just a European work, it delves into Hinduism as well as Egyptian and Zoroastrian practices from antiquity. From the memento mori to funeral feasts, its pages are filled with interesting folklore, astonishing history, and more than a few bits of graveyard humor.
