GREEN BURIALS
A green burial is a simple, environmentally conscious way to honor a loved one's life while allowing the body to return naturally to the earth. Unlike traditional burial, green burial avoids embalming chemicals, concrete burial vaults, and non-biodegradable caskets. Instead, biodegradable caskets, shrouds, or other natural materials are used to support the body's natural return to the environment.
Because green burials do not require embalming, a traditional casket, or a burial vault, they are one of the most affordable burial options available. Families can significantly reduce funeral expenses while still choosing a meaningful, dignified, and environmentally responsible final resting place.
Many families choose green burial because it reflects their values of simplicity, sustainability, and a deep connection to nature. It offers a peaceful, natural setting where life is honored, memories are cherished, and loved ones become part of the landscape for generations to come. It is a place that celebrates both life and the natural cycle of the earth.
