What are the most important components of a green burial?
What makes a green burial? In the most customary sense, a green burial means a person is buried in a container that can decompose, along with their remains, and return to the earth’s soil. This can be achieved by being laid to rest in your favorite comforter or sheet, or in a specific type of casket. Earth friendly caskets are crafted out of a variety of materials: wood, bamboo, banana leaves, even willow branches. Absolutely no metals, plastics, stains, varnishes or oils can be used in these caskets.
