Extract

This phrase although a political statement provides a startling insight into the cultural values of death and dyeing in the modern world. Turner (1996) highlights that since mediaeval times there has been a gradual rationalisation of death and its consequences in contemporary society. Turner remarks that we have moved from one system of public ritual and ceremony characterised by religious funeral rights to new rituals, those of a supposed technologically advanced modern society.
