Mark Harris, Grave Matters, A Journey Through The Modern Funeral Industry to A Natural Way of Burial, 2007, Scribner, New York, NY.  This may be tough to think about, but this is a very important resource for those who are concerned with how their body will be disposed of after death, and how that impacts the environment. Also provides lists of other resources. While some may be sensitive to the frank information in this book, this is a recommended core resource for Meetings, for those committees concerned with Burial Grounds, for individuals committed to sound environmental practices, and for those making decisions about their own burial or cremation.
