Disposal Of The Dead: A Plea For Cremation (1881)

""The Disposal Of The Dead: A Plea For Cremation"" is a book written by Edward John Bermingham in 1881. The book advocates for the practice of cremation as a more hygienic and practical method of disposing of the dead. Bermingham argues that traditional burial practices are not only unsanitary but also wasteful, as valuable land is used for burial plots. He also addresses religious objections to cremation and provides examples of other cultures and religions that have practiced cremation for centuries. The book is an early contribution to the debate on the use of cremation as a viable alternative to burial, and its arguments continue to be relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
