Green Burial
Green Burial Services
A green burial, also known as natural burial, is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial methods. It emphasizes simplicity, conservation, and the natural decomposition of the body, with minimal impact on the environment.
Biodegradable Materials
The body is typically buried in a biodegradable coffin, shroud, or without a container. Materials used avoid toxic chemicals and are designed to decompose naturally.
No Embalming
Green burials do not use embalming fluids, such as formaldehyde, which can harm the environment.
Natural Burial Grounds
Green burials are often conducted in designated natural burial grounds or conservation areas.
These spaces may serve dual purposes, such as preserving wildlife habitats or supporting land conservation efforts.
