There is much more choice and involvement of the family and respect for the wishes of the departed. In Pulford, eco funerals or natural burials have become more and more popular. These funerals are less harmful to the environment. In addition, they don’t generate unnecessary waste or use excessive energy or harmful materials. There are different options for the setting available. They include burial in a woodland, memorial ground, cemetery, or in your own private land. The body is encased in a completely biodegradable coffin that has been manufactured using natural materials without chemical additives. Hence, this could be bamboo, banana fibre, cardboard, wood, sea grasses, cane, water hyacinth or other biodegradable material. In addition, the body may be wrapped in a cotton or other natural material shroud. There is no embalming or extended viewing of the body in a funeral home.
While choosing a site for eco funerals in Pulford, ensure that the site is maintained in a natural way. Thus, the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides defeats the purpose. Check with the site authorities whether they use organic products. Moreover, some eco funeral companies offer a tree pod burial. Thus, here the body is placed in a biodegradable pod and buried. Furthermore, a tree is planted directly above to serve as a living memorial. Contact John Knowles Funerals for assistance and guidance. We can help you to select the right option. The first natural burial site in the UK was established in Carlisle in 1993. Since then, many other places have adopted these ideas.
