What is a Green Burial?

It certainly is an interesting topic isn’t it?  By definition a green burial is a way of caring for the dead with minimal environmental impact.  We all want to do our part to save this planet, but up until recently the idea of continuing to do so after we were gone was virtually unknown.  A green burial constitutes, among other things the proper caskets, shrouds, and/or urns.

The GBC is the Green Burial Council.  It demands that the owners of a cemetery are transparent in their operation.  They must be subject to third party scrutiny and be accountable.  If they have made promises in the past that would compromise the goal of staying “green” then they must reassess those pledges that were made before we realized our planet was in danger.

One thing that never changes in the state of Connecticut is the comfort you and your family have when you need a funeral director.  For decades that choice has been Colonial Funerals.  Located in Hamden, Colonial serves all of the state with the concern and service that you require while keeping prices lower than any funeral home in the state of Connecticut.  Please call them first at (203) 407-8899.
