Rest in Peace: A Cultural History of Death and the Funeral Home in Twentieth-Century America
Laderman, Gary (Associate Professor of American Religious History and Culture, Associate Professor of American Religious History and Culture, Emory University)
In Rest in Peace, Gary Laderman traces the origins of American funeral rituals, from the evolution of embalming techniques during and after the Civil War and the shift from home funerals to funeral homes at the turn of the century, to the increasing subordination of priests, ministers, and other religious figures to the funeral director throughout the twentieth century.
