Forest funerals

Forest funerals involve conducting funeral rituals within natural woodland settings, often emphasizing eco-friendly practices. They may include burials in biodegradable caskets directly into the earth or natural containers, with minimal or no embalming chemicals. The goal is to minimize environmental impact, allowing the body to decompose naturally and enrich the forest ecosystem. These ceremonies often incorporate outdoor elements like remembrance services among trees, aligning with principles of sustainability and reverence for nature, making them a meaningful choice for those seeking environmentally conscious end-of-life options.
