According to the Green Burial Council or GCB (non-profit organization operating in the United States, Canada and Australia), a green burial is a full body internment in the ground that does not inhibit decomposition. Essentially, the deceased is buried in the ground in either a wooden coffin made of pine or it is wrapped in a decomposable shroud.

The GCB also sets specific instructions that many green cemeteries follow to ensure that the process is as environmentally friendly as possible. These guidelines include:

• Graves must be hand dug.
• The soil that is removed during the dig must be used to fill in the grave.
• No vault or cement grave liners may be used.
• Only biodegradable material is allowed to be buried with the body.
• Grave is refilled by hand, leaving a mound to let settle naturally over time.

There are many benefits that come from having a green burial. The most important reason is that there is minimal environmental impact as a result. According to Mary Woodsen, a research director for the GBC, “It is estimated that more than 60,000 tons of steel and 4.8 million gallons of embalming fluid are used for traditional burials each year. That is enough steel to build 8 Eiffel Towers and fill 8 Olympic swimming pools.”

Green burials also offer financial benefits as well. Because there is no need to pay for embalming, a casket or a burial vault, the cost of the service is much less than a traditional burial. A recent article published by the National Funeral Directors Association has reported that the average cost of a traditional funeral is $7,181. In many cases a green burial falls below the cost of a traditional burial service.

There is also the potential for a green burial to carry community benefits. Eventually, most traditional burial sites will become full and leave the land unusable for anything else. A green cemetery is much different and is often indistinguishable from a normal field or wooded area. This presents the opportunity for the cemetery to be transformed into a conservation area, park or community garden.

It is important to remember that the primary goal of a green burial is to leave no environmental impact. When you are planning the service, you should try to make every effort to include this goal within any other events like if you plan to hold a memorial or celebration afterwards.

• The following are the recommend steps to follow when planning a green burial.
  Meet with the funeral director who will be serving your family.
• Contact the cemetery where the green burial will be taking place.
• Schedule a time for the funeral service.
• Invite guests to the service.
• Decide upon music, readings, and who will speak during the service.
• Make arrangements for a memorial or reception following the service.
