Discovering through death – Beliefs and Practices

In Discovering Through Death – Beliefs and Practices, the author Suleman Nagdi encourages us to change our ways by considering how Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists and other religious and non-religious groups deal with death and how we can all help one another.

The book looks at medical, statutory, forensic and contemporary issues around death with an in depth view of eight different belief systems. Nagdi has gone to great length to make this book also a practical guide for professionals by asking legal and medical authorities to offer their expertise in technical sections.

To date, the book has received rave reviews and has attracted interest from the police, nurses and other. Surinder Mohan Sharma, National Director for Equality and Human Rights Department of Health states, ‘This guide makes a valuable contribution to the twin goals of building cohesive communities and promoting high quality care for all at the end of their life’.

The book is published by the Muslim Burial Council of Leicestershire, a voluntary organisation working in the field of death and bereavement.
