Eco-friendly funerals in private cemetery gardens

Environmentally friendly funerals have become more of a choice for people who are eco-friendly in life, and wish to be in death, too.

Heavy caskets and lavish tombstones, while beautiful, are not environmentally friendly both in their manufacturing and when erected.

Alternatives are starting to be offered in private cemeteries. The remains of the deceased are buried under a tree, or their ashes are scatted among, or buried in, the cemetery's beautiful gardens.

The coffins used are woven baskets or made of basic pine.

Stone markers are used to mark the graves in place of granite or marble tombstones.
