| Description: |
Investigating why cremation replaced burial amongst the British families, this book examines the political, religious, economic, and social reasons behind personal choice and sets them in a European context. |
| Synopsis: |
Seventy per cent of British families now choose cremation for their funerals, a rapid change in traditional death customs. This is the first book to investigate why cremation replaced burial. It examines the political, religious, economic and social reasons behind personal choice and sets them in a European context. This study is doubly timely with the expanding scholarly interest in death studies, and the new media interest in the British way of death. |
