Dying in the 21st Century

Prof Douglas Davies

Picture
Douglas Davies works on the overlap between the anthropology-sociology and the theology of funerals and death, including the variety of worldviews that frame human groups. His many books include Death Ritual and Belief (third edition 2017) already translated into Japanese, Russian, Greek, and Italian. He created The Encyclopedia of Cremation, and has also written on the Theology of Death, the re-use of graves, woodland burial, and currently works on the alkaline hydrolysis of human bodies and is part of a European project on Digital Death. He is an Anglican, Professor in the Study of Religion and Director of The Centre for Death and Life Studies at Durham University, and a Fellow of the British Academy.
