The taboo on death is at last breaking down. There is far greater
receptivity to informed discussion about death and dying. Dying
with dignity is one major issue: euthanasia and the 'natural death
movement' are the latest stages in a debate first stimulated by the
hospice movement. Media treatment of the bereaved, especially after
disasters, has attracted some adverse criticism, yet after the
decline of traditional customs of mourning, people seek new models
of acceptable behaviour at a time of death. The book argues that
attitudes to death and to disposal are culturally formed and
examines the factors in the formation and decline of such attitudes
by analysing specific issues over four centuries of death.
