Burial methods refer to the various practices used to dispose of human remains after death. Common methods include traditional in-ground burial, where the body is placed in a coffin and buried in a cemetery, and cremation, which involves incinerating the body and often storing the ashes in an urn. Other methods include natural burial, where bodies are interred without embalming in biodegradable materials, and entombment, where the body is placed in a mausoleum or crypt. Each method reflects cultural, religious, and personal beliefs about death and the afterlife.
