What happens the moment after death? Perhaps we come face to face with our God, or merely a fly. Perhaps our souls are transported to another realm, reincarnated into new earthly creatures, or simply returned to dust. What happens to our bodies? They may be embalmed, buried, cremated, eaten by birds, recycled for transplant, or displayed in a museum. Left untouched, they will slowly decompose. They
could become cadavers donated to science. Every culture has its own unique perspective and reaction to death: It may be the cause for a holiday, a party, fear, sorrow, or seen simply as part of the life cycle. Death has numerous representations, metaphors, and colors. To many, death is a taboo topic, so euphemisms and slang are often used to describe it. The Web is quintessentially qualified to explore this endless, open-ended question. You can find information on almost every angle and pinpoint your options for deeper research.
Along the way you'll turn over things you never imagined. Two excellent places to begin your existential exploration are the Yahoo! Directory and Wikipedia.
