Abstract

In this paper we conceptualize dying as a non-scheduled status passage, which has led us to consider problems of how the people involved handle its timing. The analysis focuses on temporal aspects of the central issues of (1) legitimating when the passage occurs, (2) announcing the passage to others, and (3) co-ordinating the passage.
