Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sanitary Disposal of the Dead: A Lecture Delivered by Dr. C. N. Peirce, at St. George's Hall, Sunday, October 11, 1891 Hen invited by the lecture committee of the Ethical Culture Society of Philadelphia to read before them a short paper, I was but a few mo ments in deciding that upon no subject could I more profitably entertain that body for an hour than by presenting an arranged collection of already published statements concerning the ethical and sanitary dis position of the dead. This pleasurable task was performed without any view of the result being published; so, when the Cremation Society of Philadelphia requested my manuscript, thinking it worthy of wider publicity, I could not surrender it without placing on record my deep _obligation to the following authors, from whom I have obtained most of whatever there is of value in the paper. While I have occasionally added a word and at other times omitted one, I trust I have not in any case misrepresented the author from whom I have quoted.

Download or read book Purified by Fire written by Stephen Prothero and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2001-02-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just one hundred years ago, Americans almost universally condemned cremation. Today, nearly one-quarter of Americans choose to be cremated. The practice has gained wide acceptance as a funeral rite, in both our private and public lives, as the cremations of icons such as John Lennon and John F. Kennedy Jr. show. Purified by Fire tells the fascinating story of cremation's rise from notoriety to legitimacy and takes a provocative new look at important transformations in the American cultural landscape over the last 150 years. Stephen Prothero synthesizes a wide array of previously untapped source material, including newspapers, consumer guides, mortician trade journals, and popular magazines such as Reader's Digest to provide this first historical study of cremation in the United States. He vividly describes many noteworthy events—from the much-criticized first American cremation in 1876 to the death and cremation of Jerry Garcia in the late twentieth century. From the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era to the baby boomers of today, this book takes us on a tour through American culture and traces our changing attitudes toward death, religion, public health, the body, and the environment.
Download or read book The Work of the Dead written by Thomas W. Laqueur and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meaning of our concern for mortal remains—from antiquity through the twentieth century The Greek philosopher Diogenes said that when he died his body should be tossed over the city walls for beasts to scavenge. Why should he or anyone else care what became of his corpse? In The Work of the Dead, acclaimed cultural historian Thomas Laqueur examines why humanity has universally rejected Diogenes's argument. No culture has been indifferent to mortal remains. Even in our supposedly disenchanted scientific age, the dead body still matters—for individuals, communities, and nations. A remarkably ambitious history, The Work of the Dead offers a compelling and richly detailed account of how and why the living have cared for the dead, from antiquity to the twentieth century. The book draws on a vast range of sources—from mortuary archaeology, medical tracts, letters, songs, poems, and novels to painting and landscapes in order to recover the work that the dead do for the living: making human communities that connect the past and the future. Laqueur shows how the churchyard became the dominant resting place of the dead during the Middle Ages and why the cemetery largely supplanted it during the modern period. He traces how and why since the nineteenth century we have come to gather the names of the dead on great lists and memorials and why being buried without a name has become so disturbing. And finally, he tells how modern cremation, begun as a fantasy of stripping death of its history, ultimately failed—and how even the ashes of the victims of the Holocaust have been preserved in culture. A fascinating chronicle of how we shape the dead and are in turn shaped by them, this is a landmark work of cultural history.
