Definition(s)

  • Visiting a rural cemetery that contains 18th- or 19th-century tombstones reminds us of the then high mortality rates of infants and children. Before the advent of hospitalization of the sick and dying, death was a normal part of family life. [Source: Encyclopedia of Death and the Human Experience; Denial of Death]
