More to Death Edition3 2014 | Page 3

Flick through previous editions of more to death magazine About this Edition If the public are to be respected and given the right to informed choice then some uncomfortable truths have to be openly aired. Distasteful as the reality may be, the actuality of what happens when a body is embalmed should be known before you agree to this process – and non-consensual embalming is just not on! Some callers to the Helpline have likened the idea to that of rape and would never have allowed it had they known exactly what was involved, whether they had been asked or not. So DO NOT READ THE SECOND ARTICLE ON EMBALMING on page 42 if you don’t want to know what it is, or if, like our publisher, (who I thought was becoming more used to deathly stuff!), you think that this kind of information should stay behind the mortuary door. xx On a lighter note We are over the moon that the last edition hit 26,000 readers by mid December. What we are worried about is that you may miss out on the next and future editions. There is no way of knowing who you are when you click onto the magazine. So, I would like to ask you to please click here, now. This will quickly take you to a blank email form. Simply type “send mag” into the subject box and click send. We will then get future editions to you - no other junk I promise.Then you can return to see what we have assembled in this winter/spring issue. Anything to say? Let me have your articles/letters. Exciting times. And a Happy New Year by the way.
