'A former museum curator here at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery was an archaeologist, folklorist and humanist. When he died, his friends buried him with his walking stick and knapsack, a piece of cake, a coin to pay the ferryman, and a bottle of pills for his bowel problems.'

(Sue Giles, Senior Curator, World Cultures, 2015)
