Woodland burials offer an eco-friendly death
CNN
A growing number of people are choosing a "natural" or "green burial," where a body is laid to rest without harming the environment.
The only sound as the pallbearers walk through the woodland glade is the creaking of the coffin. It's made of willow, a local wood, and fulfills the requirement that everything buried here is made of natural materials and is able to break down organically. "We just wanted to be able to provide an opportunity for people to choose to be buried in a way that was helpful to the planet as opposed to damaging," says the Reverend Canon Charles Royden.More Related News
