There are many possible “shades” of green when planning a green funeral. This may include no embalming or embalming with formaldehyde-free products; the use of biodegradable clothing, shrouds, or caskets; using recycled paper products; gathering in a natural setting; and the use of natural burial practices as cemeteries allow. Eco-friendly options for cremation include biodegradable urns, scattering urns, and urns that literally grow into living memorials such as a tree or wildflowers.
