This is the fifth episode of my end-of-life interviews with Chris Palmer, author of the new book called ACHIEVING A GOOD DEATH. To flourish as we age we need to live the best life we can and also have the best death we can. MINDRAMP's end-of-life series is about the second part of that equation - figuring out what a good death means to us, and then figuring out what we need to do to make it happen.
In this episode, Chris and I talk about body disposition - what to do with the body after death. Burials and cremations are the traditional methods, but Chris points out that there are numerous new options - so-called "green burial" options that are more natural and better for the environment. We also talk about how we can make help survivors cope with body disposition concerns. Chris also warns about unscrupulous practices of the funeral industry.
