Focusing on historic burial ground monuments, this book provides a framework for studying both above and below-ground archaeology, revealing insights into dying, body disposal, and commemoration practices. It emphasizes how graveyard memorials reflect broader cultural aspects beyond death. While many researchers are drawn to the material itself, the book addresses the challenge of formulating clear research questions and situating findings within a broader intellectual context, making it a valuable resource for understanding the significance of these memorials in cultural history.
