The London Way of Death by Brian Parsons

A wide-ranging collection of historical photographs shows the ever-growing variety of ceremonies that express the cosmopolitan make-up of the city and also illustrates the changing role of the undertakers in the last century. This original work gives a telling glimpse of prevailing attitudes to death and funerals, and provides an unusual and sympathetic account of an unrecorded aspect of London’s social history.
