More people choose natural burial in the U.S.

World Today

 

There is one inevitable in life: death. We will all die. A conventional burial or cremation can have a significant impact on the environment. 

Cremation emits about as much carbon as an 800 kilometer car ride. 

Conventional burial with a casket, concrete vault, headstone and chemical embalming leaves an even bigger carbon footprint. 

Now more people are turning to natural burial – a way of helping the planet as a final act on earth.
