Living with the Dead

Death is inevitable, but how we deal with it is often based on cultural practices or religious beliefs. In some cases, mental illness, criminal intent, fear of what may happen to oneself, or simple indifference determine how a person responds to a family member’s death. In general, however, the deceased’s remains are given some sort of respectful disposition.

She had been sent to the Ladies’ College, 2 Grassington Road, Eastbourne for a proper Victorian ladies’ education. Netta spent some of her time as a young adult staying in Italy as an Italian citizen, however, in July 1922 she returned to England. Sometime upon returning to England she became involved with the “Alpha et Omega,” a splinter group of the famous Hermetic Order Of The Golden Dawn.
