The Chapel of the Non Believers An Arboretum for Mitford
In our increasingly secular society, detached from death, the use of the Crematoria as an efficient form of corpse reduction has resulted in a disconnection between life , death and the poignancy of passing. Crematoria belch smoke as hearses arrive and depart at regular 1 hour intervals. This is the modern system of mass destruction, efficient , cold, and final. Once fulfilled by religion and religious ceremony, Atheism has struggled to reconciliate two very different programmatic agendas: The disposal of a body, and the celebration of a life. The finality of death without Faith or the promise of Afterlife is Terminal. Twenty score years and ten for a pocket full of dust seems a disagreeable transaction.
