Dead and Buried: All about Burial

By: Rasmussen, Dana

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The only thing certain in life is death. Throughout time, burial has long been seen as a preparation of the body to leave this world and go on to the next. This book takes a look at what happens to us after we die and get buried.

An overview of cemeteries and graveyards is given along with their history.

Read about the many different kinds of burial from the traditional burial six feet underground to ship burial to being frozen with hopes of thawing out should modern medicine ever be able to cure death. There are also different ways to bury criminals to make their corpses pay for their misdeeds in life.

This book highlights the strange but fascinating rituals involved in death and burial.
