Committed to the Cleansing Flame

About this book

"This book is the first full-length study of how cremation developed into an acceptable and dignified way to dispose of the dead. It tells of the arrangements for early cremations and the progress of the movement down to the passing of the first Cremation Act in 1902 when London finally received its first crematorium. It is extensively illustrated including many rarely seen images."--BOOK JACKET.
