Informative, fascinating and profound, very easy to read - By: , 26 Jun 1998 
I checked this book out from the library to use it as a resource for a religion class. I couldn't stop reading it. Having just lost my grandmother & participated at her funeral sevice, I was very interestedin learning about Jewish funeral customs. This book was just the ticket. It is very well written, easy to read (it is broken down into many subsections) & understand (even for the non-Jew), fascinating (if you are not familiar with the Jewish customs), & the section entitled "What is Death?" is extremey profound. I loved his style & his use of words. I plan to purchase it to keepin my library. (It helped me get an A on the report &in the class!)
Do not Wait - By: , 13 May 1997 
This is a very detailed guide to the traditional aspects of Jewish observances of Death & Mouring. It is a must for every Jew -- Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, or un-affiliated!
My only suggestion is to my fellow readers -- buy it & read it now! Do not wait until you need it's great advice.
