In fact, most people mention the importance of beauty and simplicity. A natural conservation or green burial is a choice for renewal and growth. A natural burial is a way to give back to the earth that sustains us. Moreover, your choice reflects the desire for something simpler, less “wasteful” of time, money, and natural resources. At its core, it cries out for the body’s physical return to the earth without barriers or inhibitions (such as vaults, formaldehyde, metal caskets, urns, or plastic) that prevent the body’s transformation back into the foundational elements.
There are a Myriad of Reasons For Choosing Natural Burial
A Meaningful Experience
Natural burials allow full-body interment into the ground in a manner that does not inhibit decomposition. In addition, natural burial provides families with a rich, meaningful, and healing experience. Not to mention the furtherance of legitimate environmental and societal aims, such as protecting worker health, reducing carbon emissions, conserving natural resources, and preserving native habitats.
This “clean death” is as real as our hunger for sunlight in winter and clean, cool water in summer. In fact, it frames something frightening – our mortality – with something real enough to ground us. Because of this, we can bare the inevitable and yet beautiful life transition. “It” is “natural” and there is peace to be found in that. To return to the earth’s natural system arguably makes the best use of our parts for the greatest number of beings, over the longest period of time. With this in mind, this is why we choose natural or green burial.
