Green Funerals

The essence of green is age-old elemental simplicity. A back-to-nature experience, within an unspoilt landscape using natural sustainable materials...

Popular locations for scattering ashes remains include rivers, ponds, hilltops, golf courses, gardens, flower beds, the ocean, and more.⁣
⁣
Choose a location that is personally significant in conjunction with your local laws.👌⁣

What does it mean "Digging Green"⁣
⁣
Graves are dug by hand (no machinary) 3 feet deep instead of 6 feet which allows for the nutrients in the body to actually benefit what is planted above. ⁣

The people that stick out in your past are the ones that have made a mark on your life, because you had some connection to them. ❤

Individuals around the world engage in one common yet fundamental activity that is of personal, emotional, social, and environmental significance –disposal of the dead.
Choosing to be buried in a greener way, will make the difference.

We can actually give back as we dissolve, just as many give back by donating their bodies to science.👌

So reflect on this: we can arrange, in a personally meaningful way, to give back in death a small amount of nourishment to the earth for all it has given, literally by enriching soil and rekindling life as a forest or a tree. 👌

Sea burials, the favoured way to go for sea lovers and ex-naval officers, are a gentle way to enter the after-life. 👌⁣
⁣
Of course, permits also have to be gained, so ocean patrols know not to ruin the funeral by calling the cops.⁣

I love the quiet, I love that it's a wildlife refuge, and I love that no one for any generation will be surrounded by concrete or fake flowers.👌

If you seek to minimize your impact on the natural #environment after you die, then your best choice is to research your options ahead of time in order to plan the #burial that means the most to you. 👌⁣

[Green Funerals @funerals_green]

If you wish to minimize negative environmental effects including forgoing embalming, skipping concrete vaults, rethinking burial containers and maintaining and protecting natural habitat, then #GreenBurial is right for you.💖

[Green Funerals @funerals_green]

We like to keep #death at arm’s length, and probably farther away. We’re constantly in search of ways to forestall the inevitable. But death might happen suddenly or through the course of many years, but happen it will, it’s not a matter of if but of when.👌

[Green Funerals @funerals_green]

Those who plant trees, knowing that only others will enjoy the shade, are public benefactors.👌

Eco death activists hope to change established practices by encouraging green burials, which manage death in ways that limit environmental damage and perhaps even reap an environmental good. 👌
