Greek Burial Customs, Donna C. Kurtz and John Boardman's 1971 study from Thames and Hudson, is a standard scholarly survey of ancient Greek funerary practice by two established classical archaeologists. Its strength is that it remains a widely cited foundational reference in the field, digitized and directly checkable through the Internet Archive. Its limit is its age, over fifty years; later excavations have added detail the book could not have known, so a claim about a specific site or period should be checked against more recent excavation reports as well.
