Green Burial
Green burial is a growing trend among American that is aimed at long-term conservation and environmental consciousness. A green burial is one that remains as natural as possible in all aspects of the event. These burials require the use of a biodegradable casket or cloth to encase the deceased. No embalming fluid is used. These burials also require that the final resting place be a natural environment or a “green cemetery” which is treated naturally, with no pesticides or excess water usage.
A funeral director can help determine what green burial options are available in your area.
