ecological burial

Ecological burial, also known as green burial, is an environmentally-friendly way of handling human remains after death. Instead of traditional methods that use embalming fluids and caskets, ecological burial typically involves using biodegradable materials, such as a simple wood or wicker coffin, or even no coffin at all. The body is buried in a natural setting, allowing it to decompose naturally and return to the earth, enriching the soil. This process minimizes environmental impact, preserves natural landscapes, and promotes sustainability, making it a meaningful choice for those concerned about ecological conservation.
