For most of human history, families buried their own — without embalmers, caskets, or vaults. #GreenBurial reclaims that intimacy, and a #deathDoula helps families understand they still can. #EndOfLifeCare

Millions of cremated remains remain in homes. Green burial offers a more participatory alternative rooted in older traditions. #SouthJersey #GreenBurial
Join me on Earth Day to chat about green burial options and death awareness in Ontario. Sustainability is life-long, after all, and death is one part of life we can count on.

re: #GreenBurial - would LOVE to have a spot where my remains (or cremains) could nourish an apple tree!
On a white background surrounded by black footprints and dotted lines is the black outline of a body with its arms folded over its chest. Retro text above and below reads: Come on, baby, let's do The Shroud! Learn how to shroud a body in six easy steps. The logo for My Parents Are Dead: What Now? is in the lower left corner: a cartoon skull with heart eyes atop a lime green heptagon.

This is oddly soothing. What a beautiful idea. Eco-friendly, unlike embalming. Where can I sign up to have my remains reclaimed by a tree? #greenburial
Aside from their environmental concerns, many survey participants attributed their interest in #GreenBurial to its lower cost. This is one of the reasons I myself chose it a while back. I don't want my loved ones saddled with an expensive funeral cost.
#GreenBurial ≠ Indoor #HumanComposting It’s easy to confuse them,especially when slick marketing blurs the line, but let’s be clear: these practices are fundamentally different. Let me help! #naturalburial is the traditional #ecofriendly way of laying someone to rest: No embalming chemicals
No box. No chemicals. Just soil, love, and a camera.
One life. One death. Maybe it matters.

When you dig a little deeper you learn there's quite a bit more available for folks that are looking for "greener" options for their funeral planning.
Green burials, water cremation, and human composting are three growing options in #greenfuneral #greenburial #humancomposting #aquamation
Mushroom caskets!! Constructed of hemp and mycelium, they enclose the dead like a regular casket, but instead of preserving the body, help it break down more efficiently and nourish the earth #greenburial #greenfuneral
