A green or natural burial is a way of caring for the body prior to and during burial that is non-invasive and eco-friendly. There is minimal environmental impact which aids in the conservation of natural resources, reduction of carbon emission, protection of worker health, and the restoration or preservation of habitat. A natural earth burial allows the body and biodegradable coverings to become soil nutrients.
