death education

!!!!! I have to submit my seminar paper in a month!!!!!!!
I will write about "different approaches toward death" .
How we die? Every funeral is taken by institutions now.
Every death is socialized. Death is no longer personal matter. So i will discuss it not by psychological method, but sociological way.
For Christians, what is death? What about for Buddhists or Hindus?
It depends on their religion. The more society is developed, the more people are secularized??
We have to think over our death by religious way? Hospis is one of way of death?

I'm about to read "The American Way of Death" Have you read it ?
