A "Green Funeral" is an environmentally friendly approach to burial and cremation that aims to minimize the ecological impact of traditional funeral practices. This type of funeral often involves biodegradable caskets, natural burial sites, and the use of sustainable materials. The goal is to return the body to the earth in a way that supports the environment rather than harming it. In a Green Funeral, families may choose to forgo embalming fluids, which can be harmful to the environment, and instead opt for natural preservation methods. Additionally, many green funeral services promote the use of native plants and trees for memorialization, contributing to local ecosystems and promoting biodiversity.
