What is a Green Burial Ground?
Green burial grounds are cemeteries that adhere to the tenets of green burial: no embalming, no vaults, no impervious containers. They may be privately owned, church or municipal operations, for-profit commercial enterprises, or operate in partnership with land conservancies, or a combination.
