Cremations, Liquefaction, Burial: Pragmatism and Ritual Instincts!

I've rewritten an old page. The contents of "Approaching Death: Ways of Disposing of Bodies and Suicide" by Vexen Crabtree (2011) is now:

  1. The Funeral Ritual Instinct
    1. Timeless Animal and Human Behaviour
    2. Practical Matters Must Trump Intellectual Ones
    3. Gardens of Remembrance
  2. Ways of Disposing of Corpses
    1. Ground Burial: Re-Using Graves and Overcrowded Cemeteries
    2. Cremation Isn't the Answer: Noxious Fumes and Carbon Footprints
    3. From Coral Reefs to Liquefaction
    4. Getting Sentimental: Urns Versus Heated Swimming Pools
    5. The Battle Between Pragmatists and the Christian Establishment
  3. Organ Donation
    1. Opt-Out Schemes are Better Than Opt-In
    2. Strange Beliefs
    3. Objection: My body is my property and I can do what I want with it
    4. Objection: Freedom to Choose
    5. Conclusions on Organ Donation Schemes
  4. Military Remembrance Parades
  5. Assisted Suicide
