Thanks for the recommendation on <i>Grave Matters</i> by Mark Harris.<br />
<br />
I've read on the subject of green burial ( <i>Six Feet Under</i> had a powerful storyline on green burial). And I recall websites that explain how to maintain a corpse at home. Oh, the internet . . . a fount of information . . . some of it good even!

Another recommendation for those interested in what happens after death is <i>Grave Matters</i> by Mark Harris, which recently came out in paperback. He describes a wide variety of funeral practices, including the incorporation of ashes into molded forms that are then deposited on coral reefs, and the growing practice of "green burial" - shroud only, with no coffin or vault.
