How Does a Green Burial Work?

A natural burial (or green burial) is a simplified and natural way of returning the body to the earth. Natural Burials are low impact, use less energy, consume fewer resources than traditional burials. 'Going green' often does not involve embalming and is instead focused on making more natural choices such as simple, biodegradable caskets.

If you have decided upon natural burial in a green cemetery, then you'll choose a naturally finished casket made of biodegradable materials or a simple shroud. Some green cemeteries require that the selected casket, urn or shroud, are made from materials that are biodegradable, non-toxic and harvested in a sustainable manner.
