Death History -Embalming,Live Burials and more

Years ago, we were on more intimate terms with death. Life was hard, few people lived long, and the Grim Reaper chose his victims indiscriminately. Today, death has become a remote and private affair, occurring as often in the clinical anonymity of a hospital or nursing home as in the bosom of the family. Yet one thing has not changed: even though we understand its causes better today, we dread death every bit as much as our more primitive ancestors did.
