Toxic burials: the final insult

Article Abstract:

The institutionalization and ritualization of an expensive and ecological harmful burial process carried out in the United States such as embalming the body, which results in an artificial and toxic environment, is discussed. Religious institutions play a significant role in restoring ecologically sound burial practices as many seek solace when loved ones die, and 88 percent of the United States population considers religion an important part of life.
