i think if you talk about cemeteries and funerals like this you should have to actually go to a cemetery and see what those spaces mean to people. touch grass, quite literally. same goes for a traditional funeral (scare quotes!!! absurd). formaldehyde is neutralized by an excess of water. didn't even do the modicum of research on the industry to get terminology correct (it is not a coffin, it is a casket) but does feel bold enough to write a paper about it.

#script #are you insane. how do you get published in a journal with a bias this obscenely obvious #'luxury landfill-slash-golf-courses' cemeteries are not watered or turfed except for the initial grave covering.#they don't pull weeds just trim the grass so that the graves r navigable #they are no different than a public park and should be treated like the meaningful public green spaces they are #you can; in fact; be pro-green burial without slandering the very meaningful traditions that ppl approach burial with.#and there are green embalming chemicals. and even the normal ones are not as bad as they fearmonger about
