The Lonely Funeral: Poets at the Gravesides of the Forgotten (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781910345528)

Every year, people living in our towns and cities - the homeless, suicides, old people living alone - are found dead. Their funerals are held without relatives or friends. In Amsterdam in 2002, F Starik established a network of poets who would write a personal poem for the deceased and read it at their funeral as an affirmation of their existence.
