Green burial is the simplest, most natural way to return a body to the Earth after death.
It’s a return to practices that have been in use for thousands of years.
Only in the last 100 years or so have embalming and the use of concrete vaults in cemeteries become the norm.
Green burial is a way to leave a legacy that feeds the planet and doesn’t create any pollution or waste.
Friends of Green Burial PA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We are a group of people who are joining forces in the state of Pennsylvania to educate the public about the green burial option and to create more access to it for after-death care.
