Description

Natural burial has become a reality, transforming the way we care for our dead. Over the past twenty years, the concept has evolved, with new providers, landscapes, and rituals emerging. This book explores the natural burial movement, drawing on interviews with those involved in the process, including burial ground managers, celebrants, and bereaved family members. The book examines the challenges of creating a natural burial site, with site surveys, design plans, and case studies illustrating the complexities involved. A longitudinal case study of a single site investigates the evolving nature of the practice, providing insight into the philosophy and landscape practice behind natural burial. This survey brings together the various groups and individuals involved in the practice, explaining the facts behind this type of burial and exploring a topic of growing international interest. With over 200 natural burial sites in the UK and the concept spreading to other countries, this book offers a unique perspective on a rapidly growing movement.
