Thanatology
We deny death. And at the same time, we deny everything related to it. This defensive, useless, and inappropriate approach—aimed at distancing ourselves from, postponing, or hiding its inevitable occurrence—leads to the further denial of issues that are necessary for improving our lives.
This work is a valuable contribution intended to improve the professional lives of funeral industry workers, as well as students, doctors, lawyers, thanatologists, and thanatopractors interested in, dedicated to, or connected with the subject.
Reading it will provide essential knowledge about funeral rites and teach you how to properly organize a wake. It also offers theoretical and practical tools for preparing a body adequately, both cosmetically and in terms of chemical preservation. Through its pages, we will learn to recognize postmortem phenomena, the chronological order of their appearance, estimate the probable time of death, and be able to use the appropriate terminology for each postmortem sign, phenomenon, and process. The legal aspects are no less important; Having the relevant legislation for every potential problem readily available is a significant asset.
If, in addition, the work is easy, engaging, and even captivating for beginners, then we have a truly essential resource. We believe it will become an indispensable daily reference. As if the practical utility of the entire content weren't enough, the text also includes humorous passages, amusing anecdotes, and film references to illustrate the points discussed.
In short, an essential and timely contribution for a sector eager to learn and improve its work on a daily basis.
