The subjects of death and dying, grief and bereavement and memorialisation do not belong to any one discipline and this journal reflects the range of scholarship associated with them. Not only are these subjects of interest to a range of disciplines, they are also profoundly significant to professional groups and lay people concerned with the care of dying people, deceased people, bereaved people and memorialisation. The aim of the journal is to provide a space for interdisciplinary engagement, welcoming contributions from discrete disciplines as well as inter- multi- and trans-disciplinary submissions.We are currently not in a position to review and accept manuscripts that are predominantly focused on epidemiological and/or demographic studies.
