Abstract
The concluding chapter considers four key aspects that make up these inspirational narratives. First, that death is a pervasive part of the everyday lives of these young-people. Second, that they extensively can and did, think and talk about death. Third, I argue that adult/societal anxieties, which construct death as profane in contrast to the sacred nature of childhood potentially position ‘death and youth’ as the last taboo. And fourth, in marked contrast to this, that young-people are active creators of their own inimitable views on death.
