Practices of dealing with the human corpse reveal its own dignity. This volume examines the treatment of the decaying human body from theological and legal perspectives, which - it can be assumed - are influenced by notions of the incorruptible. What should and should not be done with corpses? To whom does the corpse belong? And: what dignity is due to the corpse?

With articles by Matthis Glatzel, Anna Klassen, Robert Korves, Florian Priesemuth and Konstantin Sacher.
