Drawing upon a rare and highly original ethnography of contemporary
mortuary practices, Representations of Death takes the reader
through the medical, bureaucratic, commercial and ritual aspects of
death Going behind the scenes at hospitals, funeral parlours,
crematoria and cemeteries, as well as holding poignant, in-depth
interviews with bereaved women, Bradbury has been able to
illuminate the very different perspectives of the deathwork
professional and the grieving relative. Illustrated with stunning
photographs, this fascinating book makes a significant contribution
to the growing literature in death studies.
