Reviews

"In the hands of a natural burial ground owner, this book will become as thumbed and dogeared as any cook’s favourite recipe book"

"It fulfils its purpose: to inform anyone wanting to understand the funeral market; anyone wanting to understand the commercial, environmental and social impact of funerals; and those wanting to take control of their own funeral arrangements"
