English summary: The question about how one should deal with dead bodies is as old as the human race itself. Burial rites have endured for a long time and are deeply embedded within every culture. The reasons for their endurance and the ways in which the rites and their implications have changes, are the major themes for the essays in this collection. German description: Die Frage, wie man mit toten Korpern umgehen soll, ist so alt wie die Menschheit selbst. Bestattungsriten haben eine lange Haltbarkeit und sind tief in der eigenen Kultur verwurzelt. Wann sie sich aus welchen Grunden und mit welchen Auswirkungen dennoch gewandelt haben, ist die Leitfrage dieses Sammelbandes.
