Death redesigned : British crematoria, history, architecture and landscape /
Grainger, Hilary J.,author.
Cremation Society of Great Britain.
"The 251 crematoria in Britain have to suit both the practical and emotional needs of the religious and non-religious, Christians and those of other faiths. Yet until now they have not had the attention their importance and interest deserve. This book examines the special historical, social and cultural conditions that lie behind them. The buildings - some by leading architects - often display real architectural merit, and many are set in gardens representing the very finest traditions of twentieth-century landscape design. A gazetteer provides comprehensive information about each one."--Jacket.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 505-510) and index.
