A Way of Life: Portraits from the funeral trade
In 1999, in sharp contrast to his construction photography, Len Grant completed a moving insight into the funeral industry. Through photographs and interviews A Way of Life examines the harsh realities of life after death. The project was produced as a touring exhibition and a book.
‘Len Grant has investigated the people who work with death, and brought them to life. The shadowy figues, unseen workers, and essential rituals are given voices, faces, and environments. All this achieved with time, integrity and some considerable photographic skill.’
