Natural burial, also known as “green burial” is a simple, time-honored return to the earth. For most of human history, bodies were placed in the ground to decompose naturally—without vaults, chemicals, or anything that impedes the body’s own process. Today, natural burial restores that tradition: a biodegradable shroud or casket, a gentle resting place in nature, and a process that nourishes the environment rather than harming it. It also allows loved ones to be more present and involved, creating the opportunity for a meaningful, beautiful farewell.
