What is Natural Burial?
Natural Burials return the body to the earth in a protected green space so the body can contribute to the earth’s renewal. The body is buried in a biodegradeable casket or shroud. Also, there is no embalming and no vault.
This gentle form is an alternative to conventional burials or cremation which both have larger carbon footprints. Natural Burial or Green Burial, is the most eco-friendly manner of caring for our dead. The grounds offer a sanctuary. Below ground, the unembalmed body nourishes the earth. Above ground, the land is restored to it’s natural habitat and our presence in the ground ensures the land is protected.
