This study considers how the treatment of death in related forms of material culture contributed to the definition of elite identity and the constitution of power structures throughout the changes which took place in England c.1350-1700. It examines the funerary material culture of a single region, Gloucestershire, alongside the ideal of 'dying well', as presented in the ars moriendi texts, to show how the pious death and its material expression formed a focus of competition for affluent elites.
