Book excerpt: Seventy per cent of British families now choose cremation for their funerals, a rapid change in traditional death customs.

This study is doubly timely with the expanding scholarly interest in death studies, and the new media interest in the British way of death.

Book excerpt: Cremation was rediscovered in the late nineteenth century, popularised in the twentieth, and now more than two-thirds of us are cremated after death. This method of disposal required a wholly unprecedented building type - both functional and symbolic - set in a new landscape for mourning. The 251 crematoria in Britain have to suit both the practical and emotional needs of the religious and non-religious, Christians and those of other faiths. Yet until now they have not had the attention their importance and interest deserve. This book examines the special historical, social and cultural conditions that lie behind them. The buildings - some by leading architects - often display real architectural merit, and many are set in gardens representing the very finest traditions of twentieth-century landscape design. An illustrated gazetteer provides comprehensive information about each one.
