		<description><![CDATA[A CNN &#8220;developing story&#8221; today described the cemetery and funeral crisis that is accompanying the Haiti disaster. Just two days after the earthquake there is insufficient space in cemeteries to bury the casualties, no time for real funerals, and not even enough coffins to put the bodies in. The desperation on the faces of survivors [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Green Burial Council has set itself up as a watchdog to ensure that burial becomes &#8220;more sustainable, economically viable, and meaningful&#8221; in North America.  We applaud such an effort - our Mother Earth can only benefit from any help. And burial is no insignificant environmental factor when the earth&#8217;s massive population and consequent burial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am unconvinced that green burial as currently conceived necessarily represents a healthier integration of death as a part of life - for some of its fans, it may be yet another subtle form of death denial. Moreover, although it claims to have an environmental motivation, it may also hide unresolved spiritual issues - that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Charles Cowling&#8217;s excellent blog The Good Funeral Guide I copy a few lines from his last article entitled &#8220;Haunting Presence&#8220;.
&#8220;The beauty of burial is that it results in the permanent relocation of the complete body. You think it&#8217;s all over as the soil rattles down on the coffin. It is. Your hands are now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I have one gripe with many green and woodland cemeteries it is that they don&#8217;t think deeply enough about the consequences to humans and human culture of making cemeteries more &#8220;natural&#8221;. This regards above all finding a place for enduring memorials in natural cemeteries.
