Dying and grieving continually evolve: new preparations for dying, new kinds of funerals, new ways of handling grief and new ways to memorialise are developing all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Bringing 25 years of research and teaching in the sociology of death and dying to this important book, Tony Walter engages critically with key questions such as: should we talk about death more and plan in advance? How effective is this as more people suffer frailty and dementia? How do physical migration and digital connection affect place-bound deathbeds, funerals and graves? Is the traditional funeral still relevant? Can burial and cremation be ecological? And how should we grieve: quietly, openly, or online?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Walter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447337360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447337362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Tony Walter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545698488575,"sku":"9781447337362","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e6b0590-95ce-43c5-8c7f-25da880be3d1.jpg?v=1738183111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-death-means-now-tony-walter-9781447337362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
