The American Way of Death Revisited

“The American Way of Death Revisited has lost none of the original work’s power to shock, appall, and—despite the grim subject matter—jolt the funny bone.”

—Business Week

“Jessica Mitford was sui generis…. Even in death, Mitford continues to serve as the scourge of those who would profit obscenely from dying.”

—Portland Oregonian

“No less startling, or entertaining, than the original.”

—The New York Times Book Review

“The ‘value added’ of this edition is considerable…. Nobody will ever bring to [the battle against the funeral industry] the combination of irony, brio, grit and vitriol that stamped the Mitford style.”

—Los Angeles Times

“Excellent…. Her revealing interviews allow unscrupulous funeral-industry honchos to dig, as it were, their own graves.”

—Entertainment Weekly

“Even in death, Jessica Mitford continues to serve as the scourge of those who would profit obscenely from the dead.”

—St. Louis Post-Dispatch
