"The Funeral Dictionary" is a research book on funeral rites and culture worldwide. Using the "language of death" as its index, it weaves a system of farewells that transcends geographical boundaries and beliefs. In an era where young people oscillate between "wanting to die" and "disregarding life," it serves as both a reference archive of rituals and a mirror reflecting contemporary society—in an age where death is increasingly avoided, simplified, and commercialized, do we still know how to truly say goodbye?
