When the sun sets on a life, you
do have a choice on what happens to the mortal remains;
make yours now and enjoy peace of mind.
The Green Funeral option
continues to grow in popularity and there are now around
200 woodland burial sites all over the country. The
environment of green burial grounds are kept as wild and
as natural as possible.
Through our own death, we can give something back to nature,
something to be enjoyed for generations to come - a
living memorial.
There is also
satisfaction through the knowledge that contribution to
the formation and preservation of nature and our
beautiful woodland, will in turn become a rich and
diverse self-sustaining wildlife habitat.
In
general when speaking about green
funerals we are referring to a meadow or
woodland burial, this is complemented by
the use of a coffin made from
biodegradable materials such as willow or
chipboard.
Memorials and headstones are generally
not permitted, but often memorial trees
can be planted to mark the grave.
Other aspects of an eco-funeral are the
use of less vehicles - in turn use of
less fuel. No embalming is usually
carried out and the coffin must be
biodegradable. |
