Natural cemeteries, also known as green cemeteries, are burial sites that prioritize environmental sustainability. They typically use biodegradable materials for coffins and shrouds, allowing bodies to decompose naturally. This approach minimizes the use of chemicals and non-biodegradable materials, promoting a return to the earth. In natural cemeteries, the landscape is often left in its natural state, with native plants and trees. This creates a serene environment that supports local wildlife and ecosystems. Families can choose to plant trees or flowers as memorials, contributing to the preservation of nature while honoring their loved ones.
