A Green Cemetery Grows In Houston

Well, this is a little bit of an odd topic, but I'll share my views. I've personally never really understood the point in being buried in a fancy box. I'm dead, what do I care what happens to my body? Take what organs you can use to save others and do whatever after that. I guess I always planned on being incinerated. This doesn't seem like a bad alternative though.

Green burial is part of a growing movement to eliminate toxic chemicals and persistent materials from burial ritual by skipping embalming, concrete vaults, tombstones and expensive metal caskets.

It’s not only better for the planet, but it saves cash, too. Green burials cost about one-third the price of traditional ones. Plus the dearly departed gets to play in nature again, literally becoming trees, grasses, flowers, and critters.
