Eco-Friendly End-of-Life Options: Green Burials and Beyond
Manage episode 445561367 series 3334780
Many patients are embalmed or cremated after death, but this isn't the only option. Embalming and cremation have a negative impact on the environment, and other, more eco-friendly, options are becoming popular.
Options such as green burials, human composting, and reef balls give people options for how to handle their loved one's body after death.
Do you think that accepting, and even facilitating, decomposition of a body after death helps us engage in "circle of life" coping? Or are standard funeral services more helpful?
Let me know what you think!
