A green cemetery, also known as a natural burial ground, is a burial site that emphasizes environmentally friendly practices. In these cemeteries, bodies are buried without traditional embalming fluids, metal caskets, or concrete vaults. Instead, biodegradable materials like wooden caskets or shrouds are used, allowing the body to decompose naturally and return to the earth. Green cemeteries often feature native plants and trees, promoting local ecosystems and biodiversity. They may also provide spaces for memorialization that align with nature, such as planting trees or creating wildflower meadows. This approach appeals to those who wish to honor their loved ones while minimizing their environmental impact.
