Dr Diana Cunningham, ND, will discuss the differences between conservation and restoration deathcare; other choices in "green" deathcare, such as human composting; why cremation is a public health hazard, and how natural burial is the only earth-responsible choice in the rising natural deathcare revolution. Dr Cunningham is the author of The New Natural American Way of Deathcare.
