The historiography of death, memory, and testamentary practices is already abundant in Western Europe and a fairly large number of extra-European regions.

This is an edited collection of studies by international scholars on the interlocking themes of attitudes and discourses on death, commemorative practices, and inheritance/testamentary strategies in the Balkans and East-Central Europe.
