Funerals nowadays – the research project
To Hull to attend the final meeting of the research advisory group for the project on spirituality in contemporary funerals, final because it’s nearing its overall report after attending 46 funerals and talking to the participants about them. It seems that while, as most people know from personal experience, funerals nowadays are more about celebrating the person who has died than they used to be, this individualist celebration also reflects their spiritual conceptions; that is, their views about what is important in life. I’ll look forward to the final report, and you can get a copy by writing to the team at their website.
