God's Acre Beautiful: Or the Cemeteries of the Future (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book advocates for major improvements to the way modern civilizations handle the remains of the dead. The author argues for cremation as the most respectful, sanitary, and practical method of disposing of human remains. He does so by contrasting cremation with more traditional methods, such as 'earth to earth' burials. He contends that traditional funerals and burial practices are unhygienic, dangerous to the living, and disrespectful to the dead. The author paints a vivid picture of the state of many cemeteries and graveyards, particularly in urban areas. He describes them as overcrowded, unsanitary, and aesthetically unappealing. These insights are important because they show how the traditional ways of dealing with death are outdated and in need of reform. Cremation is presented as a viable and necessary alternative to traditional burial practices as it is more environmentally friendly, respectful of the deceased, and safer for the living.
