HW 51 - Second Third of COTD Book

precis

The second third of Grave Matters focuses on three cheaper different burial options (than a typical funeral). The first is the burial at sea, in which someone may either actually be buried in a casket at sea or their remains scattered at sea. The second is the Memorial Reef which is a biological system in which the body is buried with the coral reef and given a special memorial. The third is the home funeral, which is self explanatory.

quotes
"The idea of using human remains to create habitat for marine life has its genesis in the coral reef beds of the Florida Keys"-Pg. 89

" 'The sight of the ashes, particularly if they include recognizable bone fragments, can freak some people out' says Ken. 'The petals give them something else, something beautiful, to focus on"-Pg. 80

analytical paragraph

Before reading Grave Matters, I had no idea that any of these options were available for celebrating the death of a loved one. After analyzing what i had read after every chapter i really came to realize how better these options were because they are cheaper, healthier to the environment, and seem to have a lot more meaning behind them.
