It’s challenging to go against what has become the funeral industry norm of unnecessary chemicals, extra waste, and showy expenses. Traditional caskets can include hundreds of pounds of metal, chemically treated wood, and synthetic fibers.  All these artificial barriers are designed to slow down the natural process of decomposition and they will eventually end up in the soil, polluting the land around them.  

Would you rather avoid spending thousands of dollars while also avoid the contaminating materials that will be buried in the ground?

You might think cremation would be a greener alternative. In reality, a typical cremation (according to reuters.com) “guzzles as much energy, in the form of natural gas and electricity, as a 500-mile (800 kilometer) car trip.”

Even most seemingly-simple wooden caskets are made with chemically treated wood that has traveled half-way across the world in order to be mass produced for maximum profit.  The Green Burial Council approved cemeteries won’t even let this kind of casket pollute their soil.
