The essential and influential guide covering the practical, emotional and spiritual aspects of death and dying, now in its fifth edition.

 

Completely revised and expanded, the Natural Death Handbook now includes a collection of essays by eminent writers, and a directory of UK and Ireland natural burial grounds, progressive funeral directors and suppliers of green coffins and urns.

 

Together these three books make an indispensable guide for those in need of practical advice, reassurance and inspiration.

 

Only £20 including UK P&P.

Previous editions of the Handbook revolutionised the world of funerals - now, in 2012, this extraordinary Fifth Edition will challenge, inform and empower everyone who reads it.

Join The Natural Death Society

(and receive a complimentary copy of the new Handbook)

The new Natural Death Society has been set up by the NDC to bring together people who share the same belief in our human right to approach death with the same freedom that we live our lives.

Open to everyone to join, the Society has been created to spread the word about choice and to promote improvement, both in the process of dying and in the arrangements for funerals, to challenge society’s acceptance that we cannot care for our dead ourselves,and to take away the fear of the discussion of death and dying.

By joining the Society, individuals will be supporting the continuing work of The Natural Death Centre, the Charity that pioneered the natural death movement across the world, for more information click here
