Abstract
Numerous writers (1–6) state that death education is instrumental in removing denial, thus facilitating exploration of death fear and anxiety. In the process, fear is resolved and is no longer an appropriate response to thoughts of death. An end result is an acceptance of death as an integral and meaningful part of life. Empirical support for the above statements is quite limited, however, (7–9) with contradictory (10–12) and insignificant (13–16) findings being reported with some regularity.Keywords
