Roach manages to be both irreverant and funny in her study of the way in which human remains have been treated over the centuries, without ever being morbid or disrespectful. Mostly, she concentrates on the use of cadavers as medical teaching or research tools, straying at the very end to some unusual methods of disposal of remains. Fascinating stuff, but not for the squeamish.
