Urbanization plays a huge role in the shift of rural cemeteries to urban memorial parks. What were once natural sanctuaries outside of the city are now urban #greenspaces. #deathacademics

@DeathGeography @Sommer_HPS Originally from Illinois, I enjoyed visiting old ‘pioneer’ cemetaries that contained remnants of native prairie grasses and wildflowers. They were islands of habitat preservation among the vast sea of farmlands that had replaced the original tallgrass prairies.

Caitlin Doughty @TheGoodDeath explored #deathcare practices around the world in her book "From here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death." If you are compiling a summer reading list (like I am!), this should be on it. https://t.co/QTZz99VOBQ

Urban #deathscapes extend to include our furry loved ones! This makes me wonder how pet cemeteries contribute to their owner’s sense of place. #deathacademics

Hello Twitter! I’m a PhD student and happy to be alive... but inevitably we will all die. What autonomy do you have over your #deathcare decision-making? How can we make the #funeral industry more #sustainable? What role can #naturalburial play in conserving valuable ecosystems?

[Death Geography @DeathGeography]

Coutts et al. created an inventory of the 162 geographically dispersed natural burial grounds in the US and explores the use of natural burial as a means for conserving land on the fringes of development. #deathgeography
