Environmental burial, also known as green burial, is a method of disposing of human remains in an eco-friendly manner. This practice typically involves using biodegradable materials, such as a simple wooden casket or a shroud, which allows the body to decompose naturally. The goal is to minimize the environmental impact associated with traditional burial methods, which often involve chemicals and non-biodegradable materials. In an environmental burial, the burial site is often chosen to preserve natural habitats and promote biodiversity. Many green burial grounds are located in natural settings, allowing for the restoration of local ecosystems. This approach not only honors the deceased but also contributes positively to the environment.
