Not everyone has access to a green burial or human composting facility. Many of us, due to location or finances, will choose a more conventional burial or a cremation. But if you’re looking for ways to make your conventional funeral a little more eco-friendly, here are some suggestions and a list of products that may be for you.
- Consider aquamation, a greener alternative to flame cremation.
- Use or make a casket with sustainable materials.
- Ask family and friends to contribute flowers from their gardens.
- Select burial clothing made of natural materials or consider a shroud.
- Use a favorite or vintage object for an urn, or select one made from sustainable materials.
