In "Een Laatste Groet" (A Last Greeting), Marrie Bot offers a compelling glimpse into how death is dealt with in the multicultural Netherlands. It is the result of years of photography and extensive research. Between 1990 and 1998, the photographer attended over 100 funerals and documented the rituals of Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and non-religious Dutch people.
