Spencer (Thomas Spencer) 07035835 The cremation of the dead considered from an aesthetic, sanitary, religious, historical, medico-legal, and economical standpoint Produced by Richard Tonsing and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "The Cremation of the Dead" by Hugo Erichsen is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work discusses various aspects of cremation, arguing for its adoption from aesthetic, sanitary, religious, historical, medico-legal, and economical perspectives. Erichsen, a medical doctor and advocate for cremation, seeks to address public misconceptions and promote this practice as a more hygienic alternative to traditional burial methods. At the start of the volume, the author establishes his intent to advocate for the acceptance of cremation. He recounts historical resistance to the practice, highlighting the need for society to move toward a more enlightened and sanitary approach to handling the dead. The opening chapters detail the history of cremation, tracing its origins across cultures and emphasizing its sanitary benefits as populations grew. Erichsen also reflects on past practices, introducing thoughts on how the stigma surrounding cremation has historically obstructed its acceptance as a viable, respectful method of disposition.
