In this compassionate celebration of life and remembrance, Orwell Fellow Peter Ross uncovers the stories behind the headstones in graveyards across the UK.

Visiting the country’s oldest firm of Muslim undertakers, Ross discovers how burial delays intensified the grief of mourning families after the Grenfell Tower disaster.
