What is green burial?

Is there a difference between a green burial and a natural burial?

Green burial is an environmentally conscious alternative to traditional burial, focusing on a natural return to the earth. In a green burial, the body’s remains nourish the soil, supporting new life and contributing to the preservation of the planet for future generations.

The method is designed to minimize the carbon footprint by forgoing conventional preparations of the body and using biodegradable materials for interment. The terms “natural burial” and “green burial” are often used interchangeably. However, there are various “shades of green” when it comes to these burial practices.

For others, the appeal lies in the sheer simplicity of green burial. The concept also resonates with individuals who have a deep appreciation for the outdoors and seek a serene setting.
