This stimulating and thought-provoking book is focused on the
various spaces, places and material culture with which people come
into contact when dealing with death. It covers the disciplinary
perspectives of anthropology, history, sociology and theology and
its scope, ranges across the spaces in hospitals where death
occurs, to the spaces in which bodies are viewed after death;
considers the political nature of memorialising activities, and the
therapeutic value of visiting places of death, for example after
suicide. The chapters provide rich and current data from a large
number of recent UK-based and international projects that examine
various forms of death, dying and bereavement, providing insight
into the different ways in which dying and bereaved people interact
with the environment around them, and 'the matter' of death
