Death is usually a hard and stressful time for any surviving family. It is something inevitable but yet it is still something no one is every prepared for. Even with all the difficulties of grieving and trying to come to terms of the loss, there still are important decisions to be made to plan a well-deserving funeral rites and memorial for the deceased. These decisions will have to be given some consideration as to what the deceased would have wanted, the wishes of the surviving family members, the budget of course and a latest addition, environmental issues.
In this day and age, everyone is becoming more and more aware about environmental issues. These environmental issues are all man-made or are the direct spiraling effects of man's lackadaisical attitude to Mother Earth. Global warming, ozone layer depletion, water degradation, air toxicity, deforestation and even species extinction are all calling out for greening activities that eco-friendly. With this mind, there has been a recent introduction to green burial where death is concerned.
What is green burial? Simply said, it is a natural burial that is conducted to ensure that the burial site remains as natural possible in all aspects. The deceased will be placed in a bio-degradable casket, shroud or favorite blanket without embalming and concrete vaults. Where cremation is an alternative option, bio-degradable funeral urns are used for the burial.
Green burial is intended as an economically sustainable alternative to the traditional burial. It promotes the natural process as nature intended and that is to return the body to the earth to be naturally recycled through uninhibited decomposition. A green burial site will promote the growing of trees, shrubs and wildflowers as part of habitat restoration and in the process attracts birds and other wildlife into the eco-system. It is also good to know that green burial will cost substantially less especially when cremation is opted.
Funeral bio-degradable urns are available in all shapes, sizes and color. They are made from eco-friendly and recycled materials that are designed in line with green burial. The using of bio-degradable funeral urns will go a long way to help save the environment and sustain it for the future generation.
