Green burial grounds are peaceful, natural spaces where people are laid to rest with minimal environmental impact. Unlike traditional cemeteries, they avoid embalming, concrete, and synthetic materials—supporting a gentle return to the Earth through biodegradable coffins or shrouds.
These burial sites are often located in woodlands, meadows, or conservation areas, where nature is allowed to thrive. Green burials focus on simplicity, sustainability, and restoring biodiversity—creating living landscapes that support wildlife, wildflowers, and soil health.
