DEATH TO DUST by Kenneth V. Iserson, M.D.

Answers the many questions that everyone-professional and layman alike-wants to ask. What really does happen to a body after death? What does our culture do with corpses and what have other cultures done? How does a body turn into dust? What happens in embalming, cremation, cryogenic preservation, autopsies, organ donation, anatomical dissection, burials, and funerals? How do we transport bodies and what does a medical examiner really do? How about the more bizarre uses for corpses, such as cannibalism, body snatching, use in secret rites, research and religious ceremonies? This book describes individual and societal experiences, drawing not only from the medical sciences, but also from the arcane and secretive world of the funeral industry. We rerely speck about death-because it is the pornography of our culture and we know so little about it. This book sheds some light into dark corners of our society and proves that, once again, truth is stranger than fiction.
