Abstract
Death is an interdisciplinary matter. This chapter and the volume Remember Me: Constructing Immortality - Beliefs on Immortality, Life, and Death present a very wide range of perspectives on the way we interact with the dead in social, emotional, and practical ways. It is intended to give a broad base and add some flesh to the bones of our constructions of immortality. Its purpose is to go beyond remembering and memorializing the dead to present ways in which the dead play a lively part in our lives.
