Green Burial

Natural burial, also known as eco-burial or green burial, is a new trend. Natural burials are motivated by the desire to be environmentally conscious, letting the body organically return back to nature. A person who chooses to have a natural burial will be buried with no embalming fluid or eco-friendly embalming fluids, no concrete vaults, burial shrouds, pine, bamboo or wicker coffins or caskets, hand dug burial sites and natural stone markers or trees marking the burial site.
