A traditional salt marsh is returned to the easternmost promontory of Faversham, Kent.

A factory is set up to process the salt to fuel the local economy. In tandem, a contemporary funeral home questions the grieving process by actively encouraging mourners to participate in the burial preparations of their deceased. The salt provides a natural medium for the embalming process as well as informing the construction.

The buildings create spaces for the harvest of the salt, the treatment and burial of the dead, and a sensual experience for the living to help them negotiate the five stages of grief.

The brackish landscape offers a tranquil resting place in vertical keeps for the deceased and contributes positively to the local ecosystem, warding off rising seas and flooding.
