In rural Indonesia, she observes a man clean and dressed, his grandfather's mummified body. Grandpa's mummy has lived in the family home for two years, where the family has maintained a warm and respectful relationship. She meets Bolivian Natitas, who are cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skulls, and introduces us to a Japanese Kotsuage, in which relatives use chopsticks to pluck their loved- ones' bones from cremation ashes. With curiosity and morbid humor, Doughty encounters vividly decomposed bodies and participates in compelling, powerful death practices almost entirely unknown in America. Featuring Gorey-esque illustrations by artist Landis Blair, From Here to Eternity introduces death-care innovators researching green burial and body composting, explores new spaces for mourning, including a glowing Buddha columbarium in Japan and America's only open-air pyre, and reveals unexpected new possibilities for our own death rituals.
