Green Burials - Yes or No

You recycle your cardboard, glass, and metal. You have a compost pile next to your garden. But have you considered what you will do with YOU when your time comes?

Thinking about death may be considered morbid by some people. You have to consider the expectations of society and personal and religious beliefs. Ultimately, it’s the only experience everyone will share.

You live your life in an environmentally conscious way. Shouldn’t your death and burial be a reflection of those values? Traditional burials can cost a lot of money and cause pollution from the materials used in the coffin and the chemicals for embalming.

There is an alternative. It’s called Green Burial. You can return you body to the Earth in a way that recycles the materials as nature intended. What was once your body can become a beautiful tree or a bed of flowers.
