Overcrowded churchyards, shortage of land and rapidly increasing population - how could the late Victorians dispose of their dead? This book presents a study of cremation, how it developed into an acceptable and dignified way to dispose of the dead. It tells of the arrangements for early cremations and the progress of the movement.
