Jacqueline S. Thursby explores how modern American funerals and their accompanying rituals seem meant to benefit the living rather than the dead. Funeral Festivals in America suggests that there is an irony in the festivities surrounding death and that the American response to death often develops into an event celebrating the ties between familyMaterial worlds.Funeral rites and ceremoniesUnited StatesFestivalsUnited StatesWake servicesUnited StatesUnited StatesSocial life and customsFuneral rites and ceremoniesFestivalsWake services393/.9Thursby Jacqueline S.1940-1570358MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777533703321Funeral festivals in America3843944UNINA
