12 minutes OFFICIAL NATURAL DEATH CENTRE PYRE SURVEY We have been running a pyre survey on the NDC website for a while now.. More than 500 people have voted with just over 90% in favour of this style of disposal being made available again in the British Isles. Our helpline still receives calls about this every week from families wanting this style of send off and there are a couple of individuals who are seriously thinking about putting planning applications together in an effort to establish the UK’s first licensed open air crematoria. Take part in our survey We, the NDC, support the campaign to relegal- ise outdoor funeral pyres here in the UK. We fee there are strong historical precedences for this in our ancestral past, and we believe it would work environmentally, socially and spiritually regardless of religious belief or ethnic background. Our full arguments in favour of this are available here on the website, and in the current edition of The Natural Death Handbook. Do you agree with us?
