Green burial grounds are natural burial sites that prioritize environmental sustainability. In these areas, bodies are interred without traditional embalming fluids or concrete vaults, allowing for natural decomposition. The focus is on using biodegradable materials, such as wooden caskets or shrouds, which help return the body to the earth. These burial grounds often feature native plants and trees, promoting local ecosystems. They provide a serene and natural setting for families to remember their loved ones. Many green burial grounds also encourage the planting of trees or wildflowers, creating a living memorial that contributes to the environment over time.
