forest burial

Forest burial is an environmentally friendly funeral option where a deceased person’s body is interred directly into the soil within a forested area, often among native trees. This method allows the body to naturally decompose and become part of the ecosystem, supporting plant growth and wildlife. It avoids traditional embalming, concrete vaults, and pollution associated with conventional burials. Forest burial promotes conservation, reduces carbon footprint, and fosters a sustainable way to honor loved ones while integrating their remains into nature’s cycle.
