Completely revised and expanded and now in its fourth edition, an essential manual for dealing with death: either one's own or that of friends and family

More and more people today want to organise at least part of a funeral for themselves, without depending on funeral directors. The Natural Death Handbook shows you how to do everything from ordering a coffin to hiring a horse-drawn hearse to finding a woodland burial ground (where a tree is planted for each grave instead of having a headstone). It also explains how to arrange a burial on private land and how to set up a woodland burial ground as a business or charity. For those who prefer a funeral to be organised for them, the book's Good Funeral Guide details 'best buys' throughout the UK, and how to bring the price down to less than a third of the usual average price.'Gives excellent advice' Cosmopolitan'If you want to die with dignity and a modicum of grace, invest in a copy of the reassuring and practical Natural Death Handbook' Spectator'From the spiritual and mystical to the practical and administrative, vital information is included on how to organise a funeral, how to care for someone dying at home and how to come to terms with bereavement.'

Praise for The Natural Death Handbook

This fascinating and useful book provides a wealth of information to people who wish to be involved in supporting those dying...This book wil help those who wish to reclaim the dying process from the professionals and make the final stages of life as natuarl as possible. As a reference book, I will consult it on a regular basis - but I would be hesitant about loaning it to others, for fear of losing it and experiencing unnecessary grief and bereavement.
