In this groundbreaking essay, Francis Seymour Haden critiques the traditional burial practices of the 19th century and calls for a more environmentally-friendly approach to death and funerals. Drawing on scientific and philosophical arguments, Haden argues that we need to embrace new methods of burial and disposal that will not harm the Earth. This essay is an inspiring call to action and an early milestone in the history of environmentalism.
