Sorry for Your Trouble: The Irish Way of Death

by Ann Marie Hourihane

Book Overview

Inside the intimate rituals of death in Ireland

The Irish do death differently.

Funeral attendance is a solemn duty - but it can also be a big day out, requiring sophisticated crowd control, creative parking solutions and a high-end sound system. Despite having the same basic end-of-life infrastructure as other Western countries, Irish culture handles death with a unique blend of dignified ritual and warm sociability.
