Description
Grief, Mourning and Death Rituals explores how society responds to death in post-war society. Drawing on social theory and anthropology, contributors examine various practices and critically review their approaches. The book presents substantial reviews alongside illustrative examples of grief, mourning, and death ritual in specific settings and groups. These examples include personal and institutional responses to death at different stages of life, as well as reactions to the loss of children and deaths in disasters. Substantial commentary is also provided on bereavement work and changes within the funeral industry and memorialization practices.
