Preferred term

death in the future  

Definition

  • A discussion of death in the future can include topics relating to predictions about demographic shifts in mortality, transitioning grieving, and burial practices. While all these issues are important, changes in the social characteristics and reactions to death revolve around more fundamental questions about the ontological nature of death.
