Ecological Funeral

When choosing a form of burial personal convictions, religion and attitudes towards life as well as financial considerations all play a decisive role.

Generally there is a choice between a burial and a cremation. Although today it is also possible to choose a burial at sea or the newer alternatives of a woodland burial, mountain pasture burials or the scattering of ashes on anonymous pastures especially left for this purpose.

When choosing a burial form, local laws, rules and regulations have to be abided by. It is also now possible, according to the last wishes of the deceased to plant a tree on the burial ground. The decomposition of the coffin provides vital inorganic fluids for the plant or tree giving it energy and food to grow. The idea of creating new life invokes positive feelings with many people.
