Anthropology at the End of Life: Case Studies from Three Societies 

Three case studies of funerary rituals and their social and psychological roles in different ethnic communities. We will survey funerary traditions in several cultures and compare the social, spiritual, and psychological roles that these rituals play for both the living and the dying.
