    The most effective narrative in my opinion is “The Embalming of Mr. Jones” by Jessica Mitford. In the essay Mitford talks about the malpractices committed by funeral homes. She talks about the exact way a body is embalmed and then placed for display. Although embalming has been practiced for ages, she emphasizes the disgust at modern techniques to the process. Mitford explains, “About three to six gallons of a dyed and perfumed solution formaldehyde, glycerin… is soon circulating through Mr. Jones whose mouth has been sewed together with a “needle directed upward between the upper lip and gum and brought out through the left nostril,””…

    Mary Roach's 2003 novel, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, explores rich and diverse experiences that post-mortem bodies undergo in the non-life phase. Roach gives a detailed description using open, uncensored episodes of interviews of people who work in close proximity with cadavers ranging from doctors to morticians to body farm personnel. Through personal fascination and humorous experiences, Roach shows how cadavers are the uncelebrated heroes of our past, present, and future time in medical and non-medical areas. The use of cadavers (both donated and non-donated) in all areas of life has been explained, going outside the expected medical use. Roach went out of her way to look into a rumor she heard about two brothers in China…

The wealthier could afford higher quality care, building elaborate tombs and burying various items to bring to the afterlife.…

This is the most literal definition of resurrection in the ATTC, and even this is not literal…
