green cemeteries
Green cemeteries, also known as natural or eco-friendly cemeteries, are burial sites that prioritize environmental sustainability. They typically use biodegradable materials for coffins and markers, allowing bodies to decompose naturally. This approach minimizes the use of chemicals and reduces the ecological footprint associated with traditional burial practices.
In green cemeteries, the focus is on preserving the natural landscape. These sites often feature native plants and wildlife habitats, promoting biodiversity. Families can choose to have simple grave markers or no markers at all, allowing the area to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, creating a peaceful and serene environment for remembrance.
