MARIETTA, GA – Author’s Tranquility Press announces the release of The Natural American Way Of Death by Dr. Diana Cunningham, a nonfiction book that takes a closer look at how Americans handle death and what those decisions may mean for individuals, communities, and the environment.
Drawing on research and documented examples, the book examines cremation and conventional burial practices, including the release of substances such as mercury linked to dental fillings and body tissues. Dr. Cunningham presents these issues as part of a broader conversation about how end-of-life decisions connect to environmental concerns and long-standing industry practices. This book also examines 21st-century solutions to those problems posted by Jessica Milford’s bestselling book, The American Way of Death (1963).
At the same time, The Natural American Way Of Death points to a growing shift in how some individuals and family’s approach deathcare. Natural burial, conservation burial, and home-based funeral and deathcare practices are receiving increased attention as ancient practices are being revived to move away from unnatural and unsustainable practices like embalming chemicals, concrete vaults, and synthetic materials, allowing a more direct return to the earth.
The book also provides practical guidance, including planning tools designed to help readers document their preferences, along with an overview of different burial options and how to navigate them.
The Natural American Way Of Death is now available on Amazon at Barnes & Noble and by special order in local bookstores.
