This open access book focuses on migrant and minority cemetery needs through the conceptual
lens of the mobilities of the living and the dead. In doing so the book brings migration and
mobility studies into much-needed dialogue with death studies to explore the symbolically and
politically important issue of culturally inclusive spaces of cemeteries and crematoria for
migrants and established minorities. The book addresses majority and minority cemetery and
crematoria provisions and practices in a range of North West European contexts. It describes
how the planning management and use of cemeteries and crematoria in multicultural societies
can tell us about the everyday lived experiences of migration and migrant heritage urban
diversity social inclusion and exclusion in Europe and how these relate to migrant and
minority experience of lived citizenship practices of territoriality and bordering colonial
postcolonial narratives. The book will be of interest to readers in the fields of migration
mobilities studies and death studies as well as policy makers and practitioners such as local
government officers cemetery managers and city planners.
