Is cremation smart and environmentally friendly?
Yes, Choosing a green cremation shows you are committed to a clean, natural environment that helps preserve the planet’s ever-shrinking wilderness and nature preserves, it is a smart decision to make. A traditional funeral has the body laid out on an embalmer s table, bled-out then filled with noxious chemicals. After the viewing, the body is put into a casket made of metal or lacquered wood lined with satin and decorated with brass hinges and handles. All of those chemicals are plunged into the earth, preventing natural decomposition and leeching toxins into the ground. For those people who have dedicated their lives to reducing their negative impact on the earth, this can be a less-than-desirable ending.
