{"product_id":"no-ordinary-deaths","title":"No Ordinary Deaths","description":"'A beautifully written and thought provoking journey' Professor Sue Black, author of All That Remains'There surely won't be a better history of the subject than Conisbee's' Literary Review 'Richly researched ... an intimate chronology' TLSThe lost art of 'dying well' was common knowledge to our ancestors - who, living closer to death than we do, had an intimate and integrated relationship with the afterlife. For centuries, cycles of death, dying and disposal have shaped society, from the death-watchers of the Middle Age to the pomp of Victorian funeral wear.Ranging from the plague pit to the grave-robbery, from consecrated ground to the hangman's drop, No Ordinary Deaths is a groundbreaking work of social history which asks: how did our ancestors live, and die? How might the old ways help prepare us for our own ends?","brand":"Profile Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62654701502851,"sku":"9781800815889","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/8033\/3699\/files\/9781800815889.jpg?v=1789727196","url":"https:\/\/thebuddyhoodshop.co.uk\/products\/no-ordinary-deaths","provider":"The Buddyhood Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
