In two short talks we look at the past and present of death with two speakers, Dr Dan O'Brien and Prof Seamus O'Mahony. Dan discusses the history of funerals and coffins while Seamus, a member of the Lancet Commission on The Value of Death, explores the idea of a 'good death' in the 21st century.
This video celebrates the launch of our free public exhibition After Life: A History of Death.
