Most cultures and societies have their own customs and traditions of treating their dead. In the past, some deceased received a burial that deviated from tradition. The reasons for unusual burial could result from reasons such as outbreaks of epidemics or wars, or from premature births, distinctive social status, or disability. Authors present a selection of cases addressing the issue of unusual deaths, burials, or ways to remember the deceased. Chapters explore theoretical views related to social memory of death and memorializing the deceased and their resting places during modern period. The case studies introduce varied views on 'otherness' that are visible in burial customs and memorialization.Contents:Introduction: In Search of Unusual in Early Modern and Modern Burial Traditions Titta Kallio-Seppa, Sanna Lipkin, Annemari Tranberg, Tiina Vare, and Ulla MoilanenMemorials, Graveyards, Epidemics: Inequality, Disease and Sudden DeathChapter 1.
