It will meet us all. But it\u0026amp;#x27;s also a practical problem - what do we do with dead bodies? The Viestads live by a cemetery and are daily spectators of its routines, and their fascination with burials led them to dig deep to examine our relationship with the dead. Taking us on a journey through the world and the past, they explore how the deceased are honoured and cared for, cremated and buried. From archaeological sites in Spain, Israel and Russia to Ghana\u0026amp;#x27;s fantasy coffins and environmentally friendly burials, and from cremations without fire to turning our dearly departed\u0026amp;#x27;s ashes into diamonds, this empathetic and enthralling work is for anyone who knows their turn is coming, but who\u0026amp;#x27;d like a good book for the journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46857099739294,"sku":"ADS-9781789147681","price":37.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781789147681.jpg?v=1779154250","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781789147681","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
