Today, people are looking to the possibility of more environmentally sustainable death care, reclaiming old practices in new ways, in a new age. Greening Death, by Suzanne Kelly, captures the passionate on-the-ground work of the Green Burial Movement.
Through conversations with people in the field, she explains what a green burial is and how specific aspects of traditional funerals conflict with its ecological ideals, as we look to greener, simpler, and more cost-efficient practices.
“Greening death begins with waking up to the matter of death itself,” says Suzanne in her introduction.
Greening Death: Reclaiming Burial Practices and Restoring Our Tie to the Earth is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other booksellers.
