More Funeral Tips

THANK YOU FOR Julie Polter's article with information on alternative and low-cost funerals. Several years ago I bought an excellent anthology of poetry - one poem for each day of the year, all of a length easily memorized. The book turned out to be sponsored by the Natural Death Center, a British organization promoting reasonably priced funerals that meet people's needs (www.naturaldeath.org.uk). They have information explicitly about North American projects, lists of recommended reading, and contacts for helpful organizations.
