  • My Memories of the Time We Had Together Are More Important

    Open AccessKate Woodthorpe, Hannah Rumble et al.ARTICLESociology2022Citada por: 2Referências: 26

    Funerals have long been of interest to social scientists. Previous sociological work has examined the relationship between individuality, belief and tradition within funeral services, founded on the assumption that public rituals have psycho-social benefit for organisers and attendees. With the introduction of direct cremation to the UK, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on funeral service attendance in 2020 and 2021, critique of this assum…

  • Funeral practices and grief

    John Birrell, J H W Birrell et al.ARTICLEBereavement Care2020

    Does restricting the ceremonial/ritual arrangements around a cremation to a minimum have a negative association with grief over time? This question has increasingly concerned professionals in the funeral industry as well as those in healthcare capacities working with bereaved persons. We examined the relationship between cremation arrangements and levels of grief. Bereaved people in the UK completed questionnaires 2 to 5 months post-loss and a ye…

  • Cremation and Grief

    Open AccessJohn Birrell, J H W Birrell et al.ARTICLEOMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying2020

    Funeral services are known to serve multiple functions for bereaved persons. There is also a common, intuitively reasonable assumption of positive associations between engaging in funeral activities and adjustment to bereavement.

Bereaved persons in the United Kingdom completed questionnaires 2 to 5 months postloss and a…

  • Telephone versus in-person intake assessment for bereavement intervention

    Catherine Newsom, Henk Schut et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2015Referências: 2

    Standardized, evidence-based risk assessment is an important component in providing effective bereavement care. E-health intake assessments have been offered alongside or instead of in-person assessments, although evidence concerning the equivalence of assessment results is lacking. This article examines differences between a semistructured intake assessment for grief intervention conducted over the telephone (n = 330) and in-person (n = 115). Di…

    Audrey Stephen, Audrey I Stephen et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2014Citada por: 5Referências: 1

    Aspects of the socioeconomic costs of bereavement in Scotland were estimated using 3 sets of data. Spousal bereavement was associated with increased mortality and longer hospital stays, with additional annual cost of around £20 million. Cost of bereavement coded consultations in primary care was estimated at around £2.0 million annually. In addition, bereaved people were significantly less likely to be employed in the year of and 2 years after be…

  • Practitioners and researchers working together in an intervention efficacy study

    Cate Newsom, Stewart W Wilson et al.ARTICLEBereavement Care2011

    All too often it is assumed that the differing priorities, values and ethics of practitioners and researchers are irreconcilable. This article describes the long, sometimes difficult and ultimately fruitful process of setting up an evaluation of the efficacy of the bereavement support service offered by Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland (CBCS). CBCS invited researchers from Utrecht University's Centre for Bereavement Research and Intervention to wo…
