Most cultures and societies have their own customs and traditions
of treating their dead. In the past, some deceased received a
burial that deviated from tradition. The reasons for unusual burial
could result from reasons such as outbreaks of epidemics or wars,
or from premature births, distinctive social status, or disability.
Authors present a selection of cases addressing the issue of
unusual deaths, burials, or ways to remember the deceased. Chapters
explore theoretical views related to social memory of death and
memorializing the deceased and their resting places during modern
period. The case studies introduce varied views on 'otherness' that
are visible in burial customs and memorialization.
