Abstract

The article explores shifting consumer preferences in death care, with a growing interest in alternative methods like green burial, water cremation, and natural organic reduction. A survey indicates declining interest in traditional practices such as casket burial and embalming, prompting a reevaluation of the funeral industry's licensing system. The changing attitudes towards death and funeral practices in America reflect a trend towards more environmentally friendly and non-traditional options, suggesting a need for further research and potential industry adjustments to meet evolving preferences.
