Abstract

The study ofthe material markers ofdeath in contemporary Greece reveals several dimensions ofmortuary practice not necessarily obvious from the analysis of social and symbolic data alone. In particular, such studypoints to significant class variations in conceptualizations of death and to increasing commodification ofmortuary ritual, with important consequences for community, gender roles, and individual and collective identity. [death, Greece, Europe, religion, social change]
