'I don't want to end up in a box when I die - I want an eco funeral'

The article from MSN discusses the growing trend towards eco-friendly funerals as people become more conscious of their environmental impact even after death. It highlights various green burial options that minimize environmental harm, such as natural burials where the body is interred without embalming chemicals, in a biodegradable casket or shroud, allowing for natural decomposition. Other methods include human composting, where the body is transformed into soil, and water cremation, which uses water and alkali to reduce the body to its basic elements, significantly reducing carbon emissions compared to traditional cremation. The piece also touches on the emotional and philosophical reasons behind choosing an eco-funeral, emphasizing a desire to return to nature in a way that benefits the earth rather than depleting it. This shift reflects broader societal values towards sustainability and a rethinking of how we handle death and memorialization.
