Green Burial

Green burial is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional burial, emphasizing biodegradable materials and minimal environmental impact. Green burials typically forgo embalming, concrete burial vaults, and metal caskets. Instead, the body is placed in a biodegradable shroud or a casket made of natural materials like bamboo or wicker and buried in a natural setting such as a forest or meadow. This type of burial is gaining popularity as people seek to reduce their environmental impact even after death.
