Peer reviewedKearl, Michael C. – Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, 1987
Elaborates and critically analyzes the Kastenbaum-Spilka method of using obituaries as an index of social discrimination. Found the presence and relative length of obituaries to be a function not only of social stratification but also of one's work status at death, manner of death, and institutional affiliations at death.
