natural burials

Natural burials are environmentally friendly funeral practices that focus on minimizing ecological impact. They typically involve burying the body without embalming chemicals, fancy coffins, or vaults, often in biodegradable containers or shrouds. This approach allows the body to decompose naturally, supporting the restoration of the surrounding land. Natural burials are usually done in designated conservation or natural burial grounds, promoting sustainability and a closer connection to nature. They offer an eco-conscious alternative that respects the environment while honoring the deceased in a simple, respectful manner.
