Sound Memories is a series of sonic portraits portraying varying perspectives on how and where we remember the dead in our changing world. Here I spoke with Gavin, who lost his father when he was only 26. After his death, Gavin scattered his dad's ashes in a place worlds apart from the calm, contemplative environment of the cemetery.

Sound Memories is a series of audio portraits portraying varying perspectives on how and where we remember the dead in our changing world. I spoke with Fabiola, Carmen, Danielle, Efrain, and Louise on a chilly October day in the basement crypt of a Southwest England cemetery. Here, over warm coffees and homemade muffins, this group of friends prepared for a public Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration by building a Mexican Ofrenda—a traditional altar to the dead. Listen to their stories to hear how a shared experience of loss brought these Bristolians together across cultures and national origins.
