For anyone interested in death, grief and mourning, this is a well-written, stimulating and valuable book.' Bereavement Care 'A careful, dispassionate, and detailed presentation of the public events of mourning.' Religious Studies Review 'A brilliant book. It combines all of the qualities that contribute to the making of a good read ... An excellent and, indeed, most significant contribution to the social sciences and humanities. It is a terrific achievement.' Folklore
