Green burial is an environmentally friendly approach to interment that emphasizes natural decomposition. In this method, the body is buried in a biodegradable casket or shroud, allowing it to return to the earth without the use of toxic chemicals or non-biodegradable materials. This practice often takes place in designated natural burial grounds that preserve the surrounding ecosystem. The goal of green burial is to minimize the environmental impact of traditional burial practices. By avoiding embalming fluids and concrete vaults, green burials promote a more sustainable way to honor the deceased while supporting the health of the planet.
