Editorial Review: Product Description: This intriguing glimpse into the once mysterious aspects of death tells what happens-- step-by-step-- during the embalming and cremation processes. Here you will find information once known only to funeral directors, including: What happens to the body when attacked by organisms it once easily fought off The varied religious beliefs surrounding funerals and wakes The evolution of embalming: From the ancient Egyptian religious rite to embalming as we know it today, which began during the Civil War, When bodies were shipped home for burial Alternatives to embalming, including mummification... and much more "What Happens When You Die" explains simply and in startling detail-- with no touch of the macabre-- what happens when we enter a realm where two divergent forces control our destiny; the undertaker and the soul. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Save your last breath and $19.00Please don't bother. This "book" is akin to a poorly written high school term paper. The author gives no credentials and has strange views (Phlegmatic people live longer than active ones because they don't use up as much energy). Save your $19.00 and invest in a credible book. Death To Dust What Happens To Dead Bodies? by Kenneth V. Iserson, MD, is a well written informational book that delivers not only a good value, but an enjoyable, and informational reference. Rating: - someone's high school term paper?Not worth the money! It is 106 pages, large type-face, with lots of pages taken up with chapter titles, sayings, quotes.

More often than not, it's the family of the departed who want to know what really happpens and this book would have eased a lot of the tension. Morticians seem to have a mysterious aire about them, almost as if their work is a deep, dark secret. But there is little that is secret about the emblaming and dressing process here. The author covers just ... Read More Rating: - What Happens When You DieI got the book, and read it all the way through in one evening. I thought the book was pretty good. I would of liked for it to be a little more in depth. In one of the beginning Chapters I felt left hanging when the discussion between the man in the book and his sister regarding what they had experienced at the particular time when they realized they knew something about life while still alive, that only the dying or the dead know. Unless I missed something, I never got their answer, only there brief ... Read More Rating: - Left with more questions than answersFirst of all this book was typed with very small type..so if your eye sight isn't what it used to be, don't bother..unless you have a magnifying glass handy. The contents of the book left me with more questions than answers. I wish the author would of been more in depth with the procedures of embalming such as the orafices are plugged up...well, with what? Also there must be a few mistakes made in the business of death...none were mentioned. Also alittle on decomisition would of helped me to ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
