Green Burial. Green burial also known as natural burial in green cemeteries is a growing trend in America today. It entails returning the body to the earth without embalming and requiring no metal elements in the casket. Because fewer toxins seep into the ground, the green burial process is considered very eco-friendly. Natural burial is an improvement over cremation, which uses fossil fuels that release carcinogens into the air during the process. Green burial is ethical and less costly than traditional burial, especially when done in conjunction with a home funeral . For more reading about natural burials, visit the Going Green blog entry.
