Tangible remains play an important role in our relationships with
the dead; they are pivotal to how we remember, mourn and grieve.
The chapters in this volume analyse a diverse range of objects and
their role in the processes of grief and mourning, with
contributions by scholars in anthropology, history, fashion,
thanatology, religious studies, archaeology, classics, sociology,
and political science. The book brings together consideration of
emotions, memory and material agency to inform a deeper
understanding of the specific roles played by objects in funerary
contexts across historical and contemporary societies.
