Since death is a natural part of the cycle of life, it seems fitting that some people are seeking a natural way of celebrating the end. They are foregoing most of the hype and high expense that is typically associated with an elaborate burial ceremony and turning instead to eco-friendly funerals, which are simple funerals that are done without embalming fluids, markers and metal caskets in order to let the body decompose naturally.
Thurston-More Designs LLC just released a line of environmentally friendly, modern memorials with a timeless aesthetic. Handcrafted bamboo memorials that incorporate LEED certified resin inlays and a built in oil lamp that creates a unique opportunity to honor a loved one.
For those who want to have an environmentally conscious lifestyle, and prefer to leave this world that way as well, there are opportunities of eco-friendly ceremonies, cemeteries, coffins and urns. A green burial, costing about one third of a traditional one, not only saves money, but open space is preserved as well.
