Thought-provoking.... Unless you and your friends are immortal, this book pertains to you.--A. J. Jacobs

Doughty is a relentlessly curious and chipper tour guide to the underworld, and the weirder things get, the happier she seems.... Her dispatches from the dark side [are] doing us all a kindness--offering a picture of what we're in for, even if we'd rather not know.-- "New York Times Book Review"

Illuminating.... From Here to Eternity humanizes rituals that might otherwise seem unfathomable.-- "Paste"

Caitlin Doughty is razor sharp, and writes about death with exceptional clarity and style. From Here to Eternity manages to be both an extremely funny travelogue and a deeply moving book about what death means to us all.--Dylan Thuras, co-founder of Atlas Obscura

Doughty writes bluntly about open-air cremations, natural burials and body composting, bringing a little more clarity and a little less mystery to the question: 'What happens to us after we die?'-- "NPR"

The macabre travelogue is a thoughtful reflection and a smart critique of the American funeral industry, with plenty of gallows humor thrown in.-- "Smithsonian"

From Here To Eternity is fascinating, thought-provoking and--who would have guessed?--sometimes funny. Put it on your bucket list.-- "Mail on Sundays"

It sounds a bit like Eat, Pray, Die, but her project is much larger than its premise first implies. She is searching not for personal spiritual enlightenment or the morbid titillation of thana-tourism, but for practical, radical alternatives to our corporatized death industry. Her travels illuminate a host of compelling possibilities for better funerals and a less fraught relationship with our dead.-- "New Republic"

Doughty finds the humanity in others cultures' relationship with death that seems to be lacking in ours.-- "VICE"

This humane book gently provokes you to wonder: what exactly is your ideal funeral?-- "The Times"
