The Natural American Way Of Death

This groundbreaking book provides the reader with an uplifting and comprehensive manual to refer to again and again in making their 21st century deathcare decisions, including natural burials, home funeral vigils and simple home burials. The book's purpose is to awaken the American public to the critical problems of conventional deathcare, while offering 21st century solutions with natural and conservation burial practices. Chapter One tells the intriguing story of the "mercury problem" in cremation and conventional deathcare (including the mercury problems found in "human composting" and other "natural alternatives.) The rest of the book discusses solutions to this and other industry problems, with a focus on why certified conservation and restoration burial preserves provide the best solution not only to mercury and the "dirty dozen" but also the dozens of reasons for natural burials and home vigils.
