The Victorian Celebration of Death

Price: £20.
One reviewer's comments is by Julian Litten, Canterbury Christ Church University College: 'No headstone or ledger has been left un-turned in the compilation of this profoundly comprehensive study the disposal of the dead in 19th century Britain. From the establishment of the cemetery movement in the late-18th century through to the gaudy funeral cavalcades promoted by the Victorian undertaker, one is left in awe that Professor Curl has gleaned so much information this side of the grave'.
