Social Organization and Death

This paper discusses how different forms of social organization engender different reactions to death. It describes the way in which people's beliefs about, and practices surrounding, dying and death are largely dependent upon the society's social organization and its demographic characteristics. Social death, group solidarity, funeral rites, and institutionalized dying and death all emphasize the powerful social forces that affect societal beliefs and practices about death
