She Examines US Burials
By DOTTIE PETRJCK
"An undertaker offered to bury
me for $160 but I bad to turn him
down - otbera have offered to do
It for nothing.*
Receiving such offers is a sort
of occupational hazard for Jes¬
sica Mltford, author of 'The
American Way of Death,* who
spoke tor IheSunday Evening Ser¬
ies at Fresno City CoUege. Dis¬
cussing the 'Pleasures and
Pitfalls of Authorship,* Miss
Mltford related her experiences
as a writer, particularly Indeal-
lng with her controversial book
and with censorship In general.
Because the funeral business
seemed to contain -all the worst
and most distressing aspects of
the American way of life,* the
British writer decided to prepare
a brief essay on establishing
funeral societies. The result was
•The American Way of Death," a
not-sd-brlef, highly critical look
at funeral practices.
The response from the press
resulted In nation-wide contro¬
versy, Including discussions In
the Legislature, said Miss Mlt¬
ford. Another result was that the
author wound up 'In the peculiar
position of having become a sort
of foremost authority on funer¬
als."
Though Miss Mltford was hes¬
itant to claim the UUe of funeral
authority, she admitted that re¬
searching and wriUng the book
did require two years of reading
funeral magazines, visiting fun¬
eral homes and interviewing
funeral officials, 'who also came
with their own tape recorders.'
Despite careful
the backing of her lawyer hus¬
band, the diligent writer still
faced a few writing problems —
like trying to delicately describe
embalming practices. Explain¬
ing that sho feels a writer's style

Finally choosing to -lighten up
the subject," Miss Mltford gave
the six-page commentary as a
description of what happened to
M r. Jones before he was 'put to
funeral jargon. Though one pub¬
lisher said the commentary'read
like a bed Joke,* It was not elim¬
inated.
Turning to more general prob¬
lems of dealing with controversy,
Miss Mltford concluded that

The draftee is one such sub¬
