Earth-friendly burial options

Earth-friendly burial options focus on minimizing environmental impact. Green burials avoid toxic caskets, embalming chemicals, and concrete vaults, often using biodegradable materials like cardboard or wicker. Natural burial grounds maintain native landscapes without heavy machinery or chemicals, allowing the land to remain natural. Alkaline hydrolysis, or water cremation, uses water and alkaline solutions to gently break down the body, emitting fewer pollutants. These methods prioritize sustainability, conserving resources, protecting ecosystems, and returning the body to the earth in a respectful, environmentally conscious way.
