Green burials, also known as natural burials or eco-friendly burials, are a growing trend that focuses on environmentally conscious practices for the final disposition of human remains. Green burials prioritize the use of biodegradable materials for the casket or burial container. Green burials often take place in natural or conservation burial grounds, which are dedicated areas that preserve and restore natural landscapes. These sites may include meadows, forests, or prairies, allowing the burial to become part of the ecosystem and contribute to its sustainability.
