Reusing Old Graves

This book represents the results of an extensive survey, carried out by the University of Nottingham at the request of the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences at the University of York, into public opinions on the reuse of graves. The survey covered many related topics as well and, as a result, the book provides an insight into public attitudes to virtually all aspects of death and the disposal of the dead. It is consequently a landmark study and will be of interest to a broad spectrum of those whose profession deals in any way with death, as well as to sociologists, historians, theologians and others interested in the place of funeral memorialisation and death in contemporary Britain. These research results are presented in both descriptive and tabular form, with the main tables interspersed in the text while more detailed tables appear in a series of Appendices.
