Death Warmed Over by Lisa Rogak


Everyone loves to eat, and we all bring food to our funeral rituals. Almost every culture has foods that go great with funerals, this book brings together some of those recipes for us to celebrate. Lots of little anecdotes are tucked in to those pages as well as some information from each culture represented with in. Fun little book and most of the foods sound amazing. Not your typical cook book, but one that will definitely turn heads at parties.


5/5 Coffins- tasty treats will ensue

Book Review: Corpses, Coffins, and Crypts

Corpses, Coffins, and Crypts a History of Burial by Penny Colman
This book beautifully outlines most of the basic history of all subjects. They also cover what happens more then some of the other books I have read. This book is really fascinating, as I ear marked quite a few topics for discussion in future blog posts. I highly recommend this book for a good oversight into the world of burials. There is a nice reference list, bibliography, and definitions section.
5/5 Coffins for depth of information.

A History of Mourning (Funerals,Death and Lamentations)

SAVE YOURSELF! Don't even bother. This book killed me with in the first few pages. He has no citations, no references, no bibliography, no nothing! I do not even know how this book passed an editor! I tried to push through for you, my fans, but I finally gave up after page 12. Save your money, save yourself the time. 

0/5 Coffins- I think he actually owes me one on this.

Book Review: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory
by Caitlin Doughty 

Hilarity ensues! This is a tough field of work for anyone, especially in a man's job. The author not only has taken on stereotypes, but a job most people would never work. Her stories are direct from the mouth, and heart. If you want an inside look into the world of the crematory then this book is for you. It will warm your heart, and help you put your mind at ease in a lot of ways. There is even an awesome book club and discussion pages for this book.


5/5 Coffins

Book Review: The History of Death

The History of Death by Michael Kerrigan


This book is to be expected, fairly dry and to the point. There is a lot of history in this book. He covers a lot of regions and time lines in a very limited amount of page space, 187 to be exact. He does give quite a lot of references in his Bibliography which one can use to follow up and read more In depth on subjects that may have peaked your interests. There is a fair amount of pictures that help you see what he means and what he is talking about. It is a good coverall type book. And actually very easy to read.
Though I would have liked a little more expanded like his covering of Christianity and Catholic traditions.


4/5 Coffins for information
