Summary

The volume also looks at whether it is possible to take account of other belief systems when caring for remains and how this might work. Chapter 6 gives examples of how this has been attempted and explores what taking account of other beliefs might mean in the future. The importance of giving regard to the beliefs of others is examined. This is important if collaborative research is to be undertaken with indigenous communities.
