PBS Voices | Why This Nature Preserve Is Also A Cemetery @pbsvoices | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Take the 2023 PBS Survey: to.pbs.org/pbssurvey2023q
What if instead of rows of manicured plots and headstones, our cemeteries looked more like forests or prairies? Here in the US, Natural burials or “Green Burials” are slowly growing as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional burial or cremation. These burial practices are not a new concept, however, and have been used for years around the world. So how did we get to a point where green burials have seen a rise in interest?
Made possible with funding from The Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
