This book provides a critical overview of the changing ways people
mourn, commemorate and interact with the remains of the dead,
including bodies, materials and digital artefacts. It focuses on
how residues of death persist and circulate through different
spaces, materials, data and mediated memories, refiguring how the
disposal of the dead is understood, enacted and contested across
the globe. The volume contains contributions by scholars from a
number of disciplines and includes a diverse range of case studies
drawn from Asia, Europe and North America. Together they reveal how
rapidly changing practices, industries and experiences around
death's remains involve the entwining of digital technologies with
other material and ritualised forms of commemoration, as well as
with shifting boundaries between the sacred and the profane, the
institutional and the vernacular, the public and the private.
