Letter: Rest in (green) peace
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AFTER reading ''Exit the fine and private place?'' (20 November) about Britain's full churchyards, I remembered an article from the Independent, ''A natural place to be buried'' (26 May).
Surely a nature reserve/
forest burial ground with no gravestones but plaques on the trees is an excellent alternative? My mother has already put herself down for ''green burial'' and the idea of visiting her remains in a beautiful wood full of wildlife is much more uplifting than walking through a new graveyard full of environmentally dead green lawn and rows of stone or marble crosses.
