On a dark gray background with black speckles, lime green and white text reads: "In the UK, it’s legal to DIY the entire funeral and burial process, including burying a body in your own garden (though the Natural Death Centre warns that a human corpse buried in the garden can reduce the value of your property by ‘between 20 percent and 50 percent’). I’d feel more comfortable about potentially being buried alive if I could simply grub up the top layer and pop back in through the living room window." - Naomi Westerman, Happy Death Club: Essays on Death, Grief & Bereavement Across Cultures.
I've really been enjoying Naomi Westerman's essay collection HAPPY DEATH CLUB. You should pick up a copy!
