Heard you like natural burials? Do you mind rambling to me about it?? Totally fine if you don't want to though! /genuine
Oh! Boy do I love to Infodump about natural burials! /gen
Right, so, up until around 150 years ago, everyone was naturally buried in the sense that it was just the body in a coffin. Chemical embalming is quite new and holy shit is it dangerous. It's bad for the embalmer, it's bad for the corpse (you're supposed to decompose), and it's so bad for the environment that they put you in a concrete vault to stop it from getting into the ground and contaminating everything. Plus, people are choosing lacquered, hermetically sealed caskets for thousands of dollars.
And it's all unnecessary. You do not have to get embalmed except in very specific cases and you do not need the expensive casket.
Natural burial is either by wrapping the person in a shroud or in some cases a casket of biodegradable material is also used. No vault is required because there is no embalming, although the cemetery is away from any water tables for safety (don't want corpse juice in your ground water, which has happened and a major reason why you can't bury people in your backyard).
Many natural burial cemeteries will plant trees and plants after a few months as a way to let nature benefit from the body.
Within a year or so, the body is no longer there. It's been consumed by nature, as it should be.
Now, this isn't for everyone and modern Western culture can struggle with the idea of natural decomposition. Not their fault: death has been taken from every day life in our culture making it feel unnatural.
Other options for a greener death is water cremation, composting and sea burial. I can go on about those, too!
