Abstract
Welcome to the Care in Funerals Casebook.
The casebook contains 12 case stories that illustrate some practical and ethical concerns that can arise in funeral provision.
The case stories are based on research into the lived experiences of bereaved friends and families and people who contribute to funeral provision, for example as funeral directors, religious officiants or celebrants.
Each case story comes with (a) a set of suggested questions for reflection and discussion and (b) one or more commentaries that provide background information and some initial thoughts from experienced practitioners and academics about the issues that a case raises. The casebook does not seek to tell you how funerals should be conducted. Rather, it illustrates a range of situations and perspectives to help you think about your own values and practices relating to funerals.
