ALT In the Clearing I woke with the old fear on my shoulder like a lion’s chin smelling of honey. How did it find me, with my running? I asked the leaves what to do with my agony and they said keep becoming keep becoming

ALT "Interest in a return to traditional home burial practices persists and, indeed, seems to be growing. In the modern era, though, burial practices have changed significantly, even in rural areas. A host of burial and cremation laws have been put into place to protect the environment, guard against potential disease, and ensure the safe and orderly disposition of human remains. This is motivated principally by the desire to rest alongside loved ones and on land that is likely to have belonged to the family for generations. Home burial, in other words, helps to ensure that the link between home and family is never broken, even in death."
ALT "As appealing as home burial can be for many families, it is not always practical or feasible. For instance, private burials are now forbidden under federal, state, and/or local law in some areas. Even in areas where home interment is allowed, the process is likely to be subject to an array of restrictions and regulations. For example, in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Illinois, Alabama, Iowa, and Nebraska, home burials are only allowed if there is a funeral director involved. Washington, Indiana, and California have banned home burials outright, though establishing a family cemetery is one possible way around these these state laws.”
