This is the study of death. You understand the mechanisms by which a body dies, and the changes it undergoes during the process as well as post-mortem. You also understand the cultural, psychological, and societal factors associated with death. When paired with other skills, thanatology can help with caring for the dying, assisting someone in passing over as easily and painlessly as possible, aid in determining the means by which someone died, or with assisting the grieving loved ones after the fact.
