This book is about acceptable methods of disposition of the deceased for those who care about the environment. It explains the most recent technology of cremation by water or aquamation, technically known as alkaline hydrolysis, the new eco-friendly, affordable and available method of body disposition. Why rapidly increasing numbers of cremation by fire are damaging the environment. And why casket burial contaminates the surrounding ground waters. The book looks at green or natural burial and donations of bodies to medical science. It deals with funeral poverty - a crisis already here - and the excesses of 'the death-care industrial complex.' Funeral homes, home funerals and living funerals are among the topics. And is universal death-care to be or not to be. Few topics are as relevant to every person on the planet. While it deals with a subject that many find sensitive, it is important at the family level and carries a cautionary message to be prepared. The target readership is primarily members of families, ranging from the 'oldest-of-the-old,' born before or during World War II, to the massive baby-boom generation, followed by Generation X, Millennials and Gen Zers. The subject has not been written about in a comprehensive way by any other author since Jessica Mitford's 1963 best-seller The American Way of Death, Revisited in 2000. The book is both biased and objective and intended for readers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and every other country.
