This makes sense, environmentally, aesthetically and even financially #NaturalBurial

#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
