520 |a This book explores and analyzes funerary-rite struggles in a nation where Christianity is a comparatively recent phenomenon and where many families have Christian and Hindu, Buddhist and Tradionalist (kiranti) members and go through traumatic experiences at the death of their family members. The context of mixed affiliation raises questions of social, psychological, and religious identity for Christian converts. The author has used an applied theological approach to explore and analyze the findings in order to address the issue of funerary rites with which the Nepalese church is struggling.
