Saved: Objects of the Dead is a book that shows the items that people have kept after their loved ones died and explains why.

After Jody Servon’s father died, she kept his hairbrush safe in a Ziploc bag. “That way it still preserved his smell,” the artist and professor said over Zoom.

New book “Saved: Objects of the Dead” tells the stories behind dozens of possessions held onto by friends and relatives of the deceased, from a prosthetic leg to a metal colander.
