By Howard A.M. Henderson

Book Overview

Cremation: A Rational Method Of Disposing Of The Dead is a book written by Howard Andrew Millet Henderson in 1890. The book explores the practice of cremation as a method of disposing of the dead. Henderson argues that cremation is a more rational and hygienic way of disposing of the dead than traditional burial methods. He discusses the history of cremation, its cultural and religious significance, the scientific process of cremation, and the benefits of cremation over burial. The book also addresses concerns and objections to the practice of cremation, including religious and moral objections. Henderson's arguments for cremation were influential in the movement towards the acceptance of cremation as a legitimate method of disposing of the dead.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
