专业殡葬公司的迅速出现引起了人们的兴趣：这一发展是从忙碌的城镇居民缺乏时间的问题中出现的，也就是说，一些政府机构允许不同类别亲属的正式休假时间，例如，父母或配偶7天，孩子5天。与火葬相比，埋葬的重大问题也被详细介绍，包括穷人的最佳土地利用和成本，政府支持火化的政策，以及为不好的死亡进行火化。变化、时间和空间的本质贯穿了这本书，并与后来的墓地与存储火化遗骸的地点的比较联系在一起。这篇综述只触及了死亡研究重要卷的表面，因为它展示了社会变化、家庭、金钱、祖先和精神、政府政策以及围绕死亡和持续的人际关系的个人决定之间的复杂相互作用。
rapid emergence of professional funeral companies is of interest: a development shown to emerge from issues of lack of time among busy townsfolk, time that is, also, marked in formal time off work allowed by some government agencies for different categories of kin, for example, 7 days for a parent or spouse and 5 days for a child. Significant issues of burial over cremation are also detailed including the best use and cost of land for poorer people, government policies favoring cremation, and cremation for ‘‘bad’’ deaths. The nature of change, time, and space runs through the book and ties in, latterly, with a comparison of tomb spaces over places for storing cremated remains. This review touches only the surface of an important volume for death studies in that it shows the complex interplay of social change, families, money, ancestorsspirits, government policy, and individual decisions surrounding death and ongoing human relationships.
