natural burial
Eco-friendly final rest
Natural burial is interment of a body without embalming, metal caskets, or concrete vaults—allowing natural decomposition.
The body is typically wrapped in biodegradable material or placed in a simple wooden or wicker coffin.
Natural burial grounds often double as conservation areas, with trees or native plants instead of traditional headstones: She requested a natural burial in a wildflower meadow.
