Greening Death

Discover a transformative perspective on death care in Greening Death by Suzanne Kelly, published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2015. In this enlightening book, Kelly delves into the increasingly recognized toxic and alienating practices that define the American Way of Death. Over the past fifteen years, a growing awareness has emerged around the environmental impact of traditional burial methods. Greening Death not only highlights the benefits of the Green Burial Movement—offering greener and more cost-effective alternatives—but also emphasizes a deeper connection to the earth. With 214 pages of thought-provoking insights, Kelly invites readers to reconsider funeral rites and their environmental responsibility, ultimately advocating for a more sustainable approach to death care. This hardback edition is essential for anyone interested in human ecology and the intersection of nature and our final farewells.
