From Here to Eternity

What a fascinating read, a great way to provoke conversations about what you and your loved ones might want your end of life to look like aside from the usual cremation or embalming/burial. (I got super into the pyre, but being eaten by vultures also sounds pretty good.) Doughty travels to far-flung locals to see how they treat their dead - Indonesia, Mexico, Japan, and Bolivia each get chapters on unique rituals and relationships with the dead. Includes ink illustrations as well.
