abstract = {The COVID-19 global pandemic engendered a new social order, the ultimate shape and permanence of which is still unknown. Whatisknown is that in the short term, experiences of caregiving and dying were profoundly reshaped in reaction to this new contagious threat and the effects of that reshaping are still being felt. Though these changes have been unprecedented, foundational anthropology theories continue to have relevance and can aid understanding. Our own expertise is in researching and theorizing how societies organize death and dying — their “death systems”— and the cultural beliefs that emerge to make sense of people’s experiences.},
