Reimagining Death: Stories and Practical Wisdom for Home Funerals and Green Burials (Signed!) [B1581]

2019 signed PB in nice clean condition. Honor your loved ones and the earth by choosing practical, spiritual, and eco-friendly after-death care. Natural, legal, and innovative after-death care options are transforming the paradigm of the existing funeral industry, helping families and communities recover their instinctive capacity to care for a loved one after death and do so in creative and healing ways. Reimagining Death offers stories and guidance for home funeral vigils, advance after-death care directives, green burials, and conscious dying. When we bring art and beauty, meaningful ritual, and joy to ease our loss and sorrow, we are greening the gateway of death and returning home to ourselves, to the wisdom of our bodies, and to the earth.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Very heartfelt book. This is a book loaded with information. I would highly recommend it to anyone exploring options for end of life care."; "The positives are persuasive: The therapeutic advantages of home funerals; Logical alternatives to old school embalming, caskets, and headstones; The environmental damage of traditional burial and cremation; I'm going with the green plan!"; "I loved this book. We have gotten away from community death care but it is making a comeback. The author shares her experiences with this, and her own experience after her mother died. The book is written beautifully and has many resources for green burials and beyond."; "I really enjoyed this book! I loved hearing about the different accounts on how others chose to honor their loved ones. Her own story of her mothers death and at home funeral was so beautiful and powerfully written. It also gave me some direction on how to best set up for my own eventual death so my wishes are honored. Embalming has never sat well with me and I'm very set in my plans now, after hearing about others who have chosen more natural burials as well."
