Legacy Issues

Cremated, buried or donated to science? How much have you thought about what happens to you or your body after you die? Who owns your body after you die? And is having a legacy truly important

In this podcast, Nick, Peter and Fraser revisit the Hull funeral investigation, touch on how different cultures, religions and the animal kingdom deal with death and grief, and ask if what happens to us after we die really matters.

A few things we mentioned in this podcast:

- Hull funeral director scandal
- Blackstone on Property
- Williams v Williams (1882) - ‘There can be no property in the dead body of a human being’
- R. v Bentham (2005) - A hand cannot be an imitation firearm
- Elephant mourning
