Reviews
'[T]his study can be read with benefit both by scholars with historical, sociological or theological interests and by non-specialists interested in how societies change their customs.' - Ageing& Society
'This gem of a study focuses on documenting the success of cremation for the disposal of remains in England... Scholars involved in research on funerals, cremation, or even more broadly, social movements, will find this a most useful tome.' - Kenneth J. Doka, Omega: Journal of Death and Dying
'...it makes a useful reference text for practitioners seeking background information on the disposal of foetal remains, the natural death movement, environmental issues as they relate to cremation, and the impact of the Shipman case on cremation certification.' - Julie Rugg, BereavementCare
In comparison to another book on the History of Cremation:
'With the growing interest in, and study of, death, both of these books will be welcomed by specialists. A broader readership will be better served by the greater historical, sociological and theological scope and sophistication of Jupp's Study.' - Richard Sykes, Journal of Ecclesiastical History
