By the nineteenth century the ancient parish churchyards of
Britain, burdened with generations of dead, were unable to cope
with the strain of rising numbers of corpses. Public concern about
health problems eventually put an end to the local parish
churchyard burial, and by the time settlers set sail for New
Zealand new, larger "modern" cemeteries were being established on
the edges of towns. Immigrants brought with them a range of burial
traditions, and of course Maori, already long established, had
their own rituals. Over time, the various customs borrowed from one
another to form a uniquely New Zealand way. In this beautifully
written and illustrated book, Stephen Deed sets out to reconnect
the historic cemeteries we see today with the history of this
country and its people.
