I've recently decided that I'd. like to have a green burial, by which I can go back to the earth.
No Embalming: Bodies are kept cool using natural methods like dry ice rather than toxic chemicals.
Biodegradable Containers: Only natural, easily decomposable materials (wicker, cotton shrouds, pine) are permitted.
No Concrete Vaults: Instead of using heavy, non-biodegradable liners, the body is placed directly into the earth.
Natural Memorialization: Graves are typically marked with natural, flat stones or native plants rather than large, polished monuments

@fhardaway1 "No Concrete Vaults" I think some areas in the states require the concrete, you may already know this.
Otherwise I agree with all and do hope to avoid the concrete vaults.
