A Fine Farewell | Beauty and Eco-Friendly Shrouds
Thursday, February 19th, 2009If you are looking for ways to make the funeral of a loved one special and unique, you may want to consider having a creative and beautiful shroud made. A burial shroud is a cloth in which the deceased is buried. Marian Spadone created A Fine Farewell because she found that no one was making shrouds with any sort of care and thought about making it special and unique as the final wrap of a loved one. As an artist, she decided to create shrouds that were personal and thoughtful She designs them with an eye toward embellishment and beauty as well as with practicality. She has worked with several funeral directors and funeral homes to create a design that is easy, beautiful and function.
Sources are now saying that Crematoriums may be responsible for roughly 9% of airborne mercury emissions in the world. These emissions stem from the combustion of dental amalgam. Atmospheric dioxins known to cause cancer and other illnesses are also emitted through the cremation process – about 12% in the world is attributed to it. Chloride and formaldehyde is also released into the environment during the embalming process. This surprising data has many turning to other greener means of burial as they make their end-of-life plans.
