Legacy

The sociologist Erving Goffman drew for his studies of ritual in everyday life on what he called Post as "a good source of half-analysed material...in the ritual idiom of a hypothetical class".
In Joan Didion's 2005 book The Year of Magical Thinking, a memoir about the year following the death of her husband, she praises Emily Post for the practical wisdom of her chapter on funerals, especially in relation to the physiology of grief and distress.
