A beguiling exploration into the world beyond ours, this little book is filled with a colourful array of different perspectives, rituals and legends on the passing of life. Humanity is united in its fascination with its own impermanence.

Spanning thousands of years, from the Palaeolithic era to the twenty-first century, this book takes a look at our fascination with the afterlife, exploring the wide-ranging beliefs of different cultures and religions, bewitching and bittersweet mythology, and burial rites past and present.
Inside its pages you will discover:- A brief history of death- The different death rites and burial practices performed across the world- How death has been portrayed in mythology, literature and poetry- What death means to different people.
