Big shout out for Dying Matters week. We're re-posting our findings through the week and joining Redbridge Libraries tomorrow.

Download our historical review by Richard Barnett of the literature on the disposal of dead bodies in Britain. More diversity than you might think. Innovation is traditional. Dying Matters thecorpseproject.net/our-findings/h…

Findings about burial. Deep burial won't feed the earth. Shallow can, decomposition varies depending on soil, water etc. A 'natural' burial beautiful, healing and can help wildlife: everyone travelling to it in cars will of course increase carbon footprint.

Latest human composting concept from Recompose | Ecological Death Care. I once saw a fox decompose pleasantly enough in a humus-rich bed in a similar barrel, turned periodically. This could work and be restful and respectful? Dying Matters

Findings on cremation: a tradition stretching over milllennia; 'ashes' are ground bone which don't feed plants much; a well-run crematorium can be compassionate and good with emissions. You can have the 'service' anywhere you like. Dying Matters

We asked open-minded teenagers in a multi-faith school what they thought about dealing with their bodies after death. Thanks Queensbridge School!
