| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Dealings with the Dead, Volume 1 (of 2)" by Lucius M. Sargent is a satirical work that combines elements of humor and social commentary, likely written in the mid-19th century. Through the lens of a sexton of the old school, the book explores the various practices and customs associated with death and burial. The opening chapters present a reflection on how societal attitudes toward funerals and the deceased have evolved over time, often highlighting the absurdities and contradictions within these customs. At the start of the narrative, the sexton reminisces about his formative years and the solemn nature of burial services in contrast to modern practices, which he believes have become somewhat trivialized. He reflects on his admiration for the former sexton, Grossman, and recalls the impressive but daunting rituals of the past. Interspersed with anecdotes and humorous observations, the sexton discusses the significance of maintaining dignity in burial rituals and critiques contemporary methods of dealing with the dead, hinting at a broader message about the respect owed to those who have passed away. The opening sets a tone that balances morbid fascination with playful absurdity, inviting readers to consider the cultural complexities surrounding death.
