What things should be considered for an earth-friendly burial?
If you want to be more eco-friendly, think less extravagantly. Rather than fresh-cut flowers, choose a plant that can be replanted. Sustainability, it seems, can be practiced in all aspects of one’s life–including death. Do keep in mind–the concept of a green burial is not a new idea. It is the oldest and most natural form of interment. And back in the day, the body was always kept at home. A home funeral can encompass a memorial service, wake, viewing or a combination of the three. It’s also an intimate experience: friends or family members might help wash and dress the body, build or decorate a casket, plan a memorial service or accompany the deceased to the burial site or crematory.
