In the UK around 200 funerals a month are unattended, a figure set to rise as it is estimated that, by 2010, 16 million people in the UK will live on their own, often the deceased’s ashes are disposed of in unmarked graves.
A Channel 4 documentary this Friday (Friday Aug 22, 7:35pm) sets out to tell their story. Read a preview courtesy of the Observer
