The Natural Death Centre is an amazing resource and their official publication used to be known as 'More to Death'. It addressed so many issues surrounding death and the support industry that has built up around it.
It guided and tackled issues head on, changing the perception and attitudes that surround death, loss, grief and so much more. The publication opened peoples eyes and allowed them to view it all in a totally different light.
Sadly the last publication was back in 2019, however, we maintain the archive below because much of the content remains pertinent to this day.
Newsletters are presented in reverse chronological order - the latest editions first.
