The funeral industry is currently experiencing a notable shift. One of the biggest changes is the type of disposition options that are offered. Not long ago, most people had four options: traditional burial, natural burial, traditional flame cremation and direct flame cremation. Concerns over the economical and ecological cost of traditional funeral services motivated innovative engineers to devise two more options: water cremation and natural organic reduction (NOR), also known as human composting. As with almost anything, people were a little hesitant to embrace the new concepts for disposition. And of course, there were special interest groups, like casket makers, with a vested interest in convincing people they needed to stick with the way things have always been done, even if it’s not the best financial or eco-conscious decision. But all good ideas eventually catch on, and that’s what is happening with water cremation and human composting. [continue reading] https://lnkd.in/gGNnCuUh

What’s the difference between a private forensics institute and a county medical examiner’s office? Find out what sets the two apart after a death. When a person dies most of the time the cause of death is known. Either the person was in the hospital with an injury or illness, terminally ill under hospice care or had an accident that caused a death. In these instances no examination is needed to note the cause on the death certificate. But 7-9% of deaths require an autopsy. And many more deaths are questionable, but the county medical examiner determines an autopsy isn’t needed or that only certain autopsy services should be performed. In those cases the family still has the option of enlisting the help of a private forensics institute. Keep reading to learn about how a private forensic institute compares to a county medical examiner. https://lnkd.in/df_TkCqD #help #medical #hospital
