One of the ways in which death changed after world war ii is that there was a growing interest in the increasing costs associated with the funeral industry. Great concern about Funeral Directors who unscrupulously took advantage of people during their time of need. And so, in response to this exploitation, there was a trend toward simple burial and the formation of socalled memorial societies that offered workingclass families a much cheaper alternative for the burial costs associated with the death of their loved ones. Another Major Development was the popularity, the enormous attention to the possibility that blindness could be cured by cornea transplants in the 1940s.
