- This 428 page monograph is the outcome of several years research, also building on several decades of experience in the study of death. It brings together the author’s empirical studies of traditional burial, woodland burial and cremation, spanning disciplinary contexts of anthropology-sociology, theology and history. Its treatment of emotions and grief reflects research funded by an AHRC Network Award. It explores the dynamic interplay of lifestyle and ‘death-style’, highlighting the place of ‘establishment’ figures, traditions and locations in the UK (including the National Memorial Arboretum) while also reconceiving the National Health Service as representing its own form of sacrality.
