Sarai Platinum Enthusiast	Posted Who's the Google expert out there? I'm looking for information about how different cultures deal with death and dying, such as different funerary practices, mourning traditions, that sort of thing. I'd like something fairly superficial (a general survey) rather than something that delves deeply into the topic - in other words, not a book.

From beliefnet: Transition Rituals: A faith-by-faith guide to rites for the deceased From the funeral directory: Modern & Ancient Funeral Rites on the Internet A Sampling: Tribal funeral practices around the world From Eulogy Writers: Funeral & Burial Customs
