Everything you always wanted to know about life when you're six feet under.

Let's face it, death is one of the most important events in life--and it never hurts to be prepared. Herein you'll explore such provocative questions as: Is there life after death? Is the Hereafter sexist? And most important: How do you know you're dead? This eye-opening collection of amusing tidbits, historical facts, and macabre curiosities probes the mysterious state that has stymied scholars and spiritualists since the beginning of time.
