GREEN BURIAL is the caring for the dead with minimal environmental impact
that aids in the conservation of natural resources, reduction of carbon emissions, protection of worker health,
and the restoration and/or preservation of habitat.
GREEN BURIAL necessitates the use of non-toxic and biodegradable materials,
such as caskets, shrouds, and urns.
All CASKETS, SHROUDS and URNS must be constructed from plant-derived,
recycled plant-derived, natural, animal, or unfired earthen materials,
including shell, liner, and adornments.
Fasteners and handles (other than those made from brass or chrome)
are excluded from this requirement.
