Are more funeral homes and cemeteries converting to green burials?
Truthfully, funeral homes are a bit gun-shy when it comes to going green for many reasons. The trend is new and some funeral providers are not educated on the rules and regulations. The responsibility of advocating for this type of burial isn’t always embraced for fear of financial loss. Funeral homes are quite conservative in making change. Some families don’t ask for green options, therefore some providers are not aware there is a need. On and on… I do believe that ultimately, funeral homes and cemeteries will give the public what they want.
