sustainable cemeteries

Sustainable cemeteries focus on environmentally friendly practices that reduce ecological impact and conserve resources. They may use biodegradable coffins, natural burials without embalming chemicals, and avoid heavy machinery or toxic materials. These cemeteries often incorporate native plants, green landscaping, and water conservation measures to promote biodiversity and ecosystem health. They aim to honor loved ones while minimizing environmental harm, supporting long-term ecological balance and reducing energy and resource consumption associated with traditional cemeteries.
