Green Burial; For Our Loved Ones, For Our Planet
What is a Green Burial?
Green burial, also known as natural burial, is an environmentally-friendly form of disposition. With this type of burial, a person is buried in a biodegradable container that returns the person and the container's materials to the soil. Those who choose a green burial opt out of embalming, concrete vaults, monuments set in concrete, polished headstones, and nonbiodegradable burial containers.
Why Choose a Green Burial?
Green burial is healing not only for the environment, but for families. Unlike a traditional funeral, family participation is a key part of the service, bringing closure and comfort to grievers. Green burial is a final act of kindness bestowed upon the planet and ourselves. To choose a green burial is to make a final statement in your life and how you chose to live that life.
