Green Burial
A Natural Return to the Earth
For families who value simplicity, sustainability, and spiritual connection, green burial offers a meaningful and environmentally conscious way to say goodbye. At Fares J. Radel, we’re proud to support this option with care, clarity, and respect.
What Is a Green Burial?
A green burial is a natural, eco-conscious alternative to traditional burial or cremation. It allows the body to return to the earth in a simple, respectful way—without the use of embalming chemicals, concrete vaults, or metal caskets. Instead, the body is gently placed in a biodegradable casket or shroud and interred in a certified green or hybrid cemetery, where nature is preserved rather than disturbed.
This approach emphasizes environmental sustainability and spiritual simplicity. Green burial avoids unnecessary processing, honors natural decomposition, and allows families to say goodbye in serene, woodland or meadow-like settings. It is often chosen by those who wish to minimize their environmental impact and celebrate life in harmony with the earth.
Heritage Acres is our preferred green burial center.
