Eco-cemetery

An eco-cemetery, also known as a natural or green cemetery, is a burial site designed to minimize environmental impact. It forgoes traditional practices like embalming, concrete vaults, and metal caskets, allowing bodies to decompose naturally and return nutrients to the soil. These cemeteries often use biodegradable materials, native plantings, and sustainable maintenance methods to preserve local ecosystems. The goal is to create a respectful resting place that promotes environmental health, conserves resources, and supports biodiversity, offering a more eco-friendly alternative to conventional cemeteries while honoring loved ones.
