In recent years, there has been an increased interest and advocacy concerning end-of-life and after-death care. An increasing number of individuals and organizations from health care to the funeral and death care industries are working to promote and encourage people to consider their end-of-life wishes.

These conversations come from a place of good intentions, but also from a place of privilege. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eToo Poor to Die: The Hidden Realities of Dying in the Margins, \u003c\/i\u003ea collection of closely connected essays, takes the reader on a journey into what happens to those who die while experiencing homelessness or who end up indigent or unclaimed at the end of life. \u003ci\u003eToo Poor to Die\u003c\/i\u003e bears witness to the disparities in death and dying faced by some of society's most vulnerable and marginalized and asks the reader to consider their own end-of-life and disposition plans within the larger context of how privilege and access plays a role in what we want versus what we get in death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Shea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978843984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978843981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Amy Shea","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087722922239,"sku":"9781978843981","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b32fae0-7e4e-4358-9fc6-07fd21f2fc97.jpg?v=1753850607","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/too-poor-to-die-amy-shea-9781978843981","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
