This book is that guide. A sometimes dark, yet lighthearted, look at the death industry by Caitlin Doughty of "Ask a Mortician" fame. After knitting a blanket and binging all the videos on her Youtube channel, I bought this book. It will be reread in the future, and contains a wonderful list of sources for further reading on the subject.
