Interest in sustainable funeral options has skyroc Interest in sustainable funeral options has skyrocketed over the past decade. In 2008, a survey found that only 43% of respondents were interested in green burials and only 7% had actually attended one. Fast forward to today: the 2021 Green Funerals and Burials Survey found that 51% of respondents have attended a green burial and more than 84% were interested in choosing it for themselves! What an exciting shift. 🌿 Information and graphs from American Funeral Director.

Every culture has unique ways of facing loss. Anth Every culture has unique ways of facing loss. Anthropologists, sociologists and religious studies scholars have tried mapping out death rituals around the world, but have often done so in colonial and extractive ways. A new book, Beyond the Veil: Reflexive Studies of Death and Dying, addresses this problem by turning the lens on the researchers themselves. Recognizing that "objectivity" is more an ideal than a reality, the scholars in the volume interrogate their own relationships to mortality, alongside the communities they study. We had the wonderful opportunity to speak with editors Aubrey Thamann and Kalliopi M. Christodoulaki on their inspiration for the book and how they would like to see anthropology and death studies move forward in more inclusive ways. 📚✊ TalkDeath co-founder, Jeremy Cohen, and the President of @raddeathstudies, Dr. Kami Fletcher, both have chapters in this book!
