Corpse Care

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Our culture and economy have encouraged and perpetuated many unnatural separations and the handing over of nearly everything to experts. Corpse Care is a gift. The book teaches a history few of us know and allows us to reclaim our own death and the deaths of those we love. In so doing, it draws together the relationship between birth and death--that to die is to give life. This is the practice of resurrection.”
