“The Natural American Way of Death” with author Dr. Diana Cunningham
Local author and President of the Friends of Cathedral Trees Sanctuary, Dr. Diana Cunningham, shares insights from her decade of research that led to her book The Natural American Way of Death, work that began after her mother’s death from Alzheimer’s in 2012. She explores connections among her mother’s illness and passing and the mercury released during cremation from dental fillings and body stores, then offers compassionate, practical responses to issues first highlighted by Jessica Mitford’s 1962 bestseller. The book serves as an encouraging, thorough guide to natural deathcare, featuring more than 60 color photographs, rare interviews with leaders in the American movement, and clear guidance for creating and documenting personal deathcare decisions. Drawing on an OLLI course she co-led at SOU in 2020, Dr. Cunningham underscores the importance of making natural deathcare affordable, restoring long-standing traditions such as planting a native tree or wildflowers at the graveside as part of ecological restoration, and informing the public about links between mercury emissions in the conventional industry, Alzheimer’s, and broader health concerns. The presentation traces a nationwide movement that has been growing for three decades and describes how a local effort became the first licensed restoration non-profit cemetery in Mt. Ashland’s Colestin Valley. It also outlines why certified natural burials are presented as the only mercury-responsible option and how individual choices can shape environmental and public health for at least 225 years. The session encourages people of any age, from 18 to 80, to move forward with a thoughtful plan.
