Heather Conway is a Senior Lecturer in Law at Queen¿s University, Belfast.
This book focuses on the substantive laws around disposal of the recently deceased and associated issues around their post-mortem fate. The book looks primarily at the laws and related policy issues in England and Wales but also offers a comparative approach, drawing heavily on material from other comparable common law jurisdictions including Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. The book provides an in-depth, contextual and comparative analysis of the substantive laws and policy issues around burial, exhumation and the posthumous treatment of the dead, including commemoration.
