Grave Matters

A Journey Through The Modern Funeral Industry To A Natural Way Of Burial

BY MARK HARRIS

Brief Description:
Grave Matters follows families who found in "green" burial a more natural, economic, and ultimately more meaningful alternative to the tired and toxic send-off on offer at the local funeral parlor. Eschewing chemical embalming, fancy caskets, and elaborate funerals, they have embraced a range of natural options that are redefining a better way of death. Mark Harris examines this new green burial underground, leading you into natural cemeteries and domestic graveyards, taking you aboard boats from which ashes and memorial "reef balls" are cast into the sea. Appendices detail everything you need to know, from exact costs and laws to natural burial providers and their contact information.
