Mark Harris is the author of Grave Matters: A Journey Through the Modern Funeral Industry to a Natural Way of Burial.Grave Matters follows families who found in "green" burial a more natural, more economic, and ultimately more meaningful alternative to the tired and toxic send-off on offer at the local funeral parlor. In the morbidly fascinating tradition of Stiff by Mary Roach, Grave Matters details the embalming process and the environmental aftermath of the standard funeral. Harris also traces the history of burial in America, from frontier cemeteries to the billion-dollar business it is today, reporting on real families who opted for more simple, natural returns.
