Reviews
"... is that mourning rites are concerned with the resocialization (whether psychological or sociological) of the individual survivor as well as the body and soul of the deceased. The rituals concerned with death have a latent function; the intense emotions of individuals are socialized; that which has the potential for social disruption is channeled in communally approved directions."
