Dark Memoriam

Stonegrave Media

Once upon a time, we buried our dead by hand. Families washed the body. Neighbors dug the grave. Coffins were built in kitchens by lantern light. Death was intimate. Ordinary. Sacred. It belonged to the living. Today, dying is one of the most expensive events a family will ever face — and the person at the center of it isn’t even there to sign the bill. This is the story of how we stopped burying our dead… and started buying them. Welcome to Dark Memoriam.
