N2 - Two major theoretical approaches to bereavement – loosely categorised as
psychological models of adaptation and the more socially orientated idea
of continuing bonds – are often utilised to make sense of the experience
of grief. This exploratory article suggests that there is much scope for
applying these theoretical concepts to memorialisation, in order that
those tasked with presenting and managing memorial options for bereaved
people can be more understanding of the reasoning behind individual’s
memorialising choices and behaviour.
