Item Description...
In today's pluralistic culture it is increasingly common to be called upon to offer condolences to or attend the funeral of a relative, friend, or colleague whose faith practices are unfamiliar to us. This unique guide provides the solution for such sometimes awkward situations. Covers all the major (and many minor) denominations and religions found in North America -- from Hindu to Presbyterian, Mennonite to Sikh -- based on information obtained directly from each. |

 | Help to navigate the cultural and religious maze at death Apr 11, 2001 |
| In 38 brief chapters, the editor profiles major (and minor) religious groups across North America. He includes the biggies like Baptists, Catholics, and Jews, of course, but he also includes the lesser-known groups like Hindu, Christian Science, Jehovah's Witness, and Bahai. Each chapter introduces the reader to the history and belief system of the group and then details funeral ceremony practices, burial or cremation rites, ideas about appropriate dress, gifts, and flowers, and suggestions for caring for the bereaved family during and after the funeral. I've seen most of the books on funeral customs in different religious groups. This is a real gem--and the best book like it on the market! | | | Write your own review about The Perfect Stranger's Guide to Funerals and Grieving Practices: A Guide to Etiquette in Other People's Religious Ceremonies
