‘The grave’is often taken as a symbolic representation of mortality itself–untold secrets are generally taken ‘to the grave’–and there can be little ambiguity with regard to the hole in the ground where the dead body is placed to decompose. For Roman Catholics, consecration of the grave space remained an important determinant of the eventual fate of the soul, although for Protestant cultures the nature of the grave itself carried no such importance. However, during the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, scientific understanding began to be applied to the task of defining the specifications of an ideal sanitary grave. The importance of this task had been increased by both a belief that emanations or miasmas from decomposing remains had deleterious effects on the human subject, and dismay that the increasing mass of urban dead were proving impossible to contain. Previous academic studies have described one consequence of the difficulty: that is, the creation of new cemeteries, which relocated the dead from the city centre to its periphery.
