Natural Burial

Natural burial is an environmentally sensitive method of interment where the body is placed directly into the earth without embalming, metal caskets, or synthetic materials. The goal is to allow natural decomposition, returning the body to the soil and supporting local ecosystems. Often, these burials take place in designated natural burial grounds or conservation cemeteries, emphasizing simplicity and ecological sustainability. This approach minimizes environmental impact, conserves land, and aligns with principles of ecological stewardship, providing a respectful and eco-friendly alternative to traditional burial practices.
