In recent years, all localities have been advocating land-saving, green and ecological burials. With the progress of society and the development of civilization, green burial has gradually become a trend.
1. What is green burial?
Green burial refers to a method of carrying out funeral activities and disposing of remains in a way that conserves resources and protects the environment. It has two meanings, one is to be frugal in mourning: to reduce not.
Necessary expenditures, avoiding waste, do not contain elements of feudal superstition. The second is ecological burial: the ashes are returned to nature in the form of flower bed burial, river burial, sea burial, tree planting burial, etc.
2. What are the benefits of green burial?
In the traditional funeral method, burial occupies a large amount of land resources, and cremation not only consumes a lot of energy, but also emits harmful gases to the environment. In contrast, green burial is more environmentally friendly, encouraging the use of space-saving or non-polluting ecological burial methods that do not require additional land. By choosing green burial, the life of the deceased can be returned in a harmonious and natural environment.
3. What are the forms of green burial?
According to the type, it is mainly divided into new burial methods such as ecological burial (tree burial, flower burial, lawn burial, river burial, sea burial) and recycling burial (deep burial method of degradable urn). The following mainly talks about ecological funeral:
Sea burial: It is a burial method in which ashes are scattered into the sea. This form of funeral breaks through the traditional concept of "burial for peace".
Tree burial: Modern tree burial is a new form of funeral, that is, people bury the ashes of their loved ones deep under the tree, or scatter the ashes in the soil, and plant some trees on top as a new way of commemorating the ashes.
Flower bed praise: Flower bed instead of tomb, put a special biodegradable urn into the flower bed, and plant flowers on the flower bed. The altar can be recycled, covers a small area, and is economical.
Lawn burial: Originated from the Western burial style popular in the East. With the herbs as a companion, let life be born in nature, return to nature, absorb the nectar of the earth, and become one with heaven and earth.
Wall burial: It is a funeral method in which the urn is embedded in the wall, which is an advanced funeral concept and behavior while burying the deceased and leaving blessings for future generations.
Tower burial: Compared with traditional tombs, the new "tower burial" does not use an urn, and directly buries the ashes of the deceased with flowers in the tower, so that the deceased can return to nature here.
Fourth, the future prospect of green burial.
Green burials are becoming a mainstream trend with increased environmental awareness, and it is expected that all funeral activities in the future will continue this environmentally friendly approach. Green burial not only responds to the call to save resources and protect the environment, but also conforms to the new attitude of modern society towards the concept of death.
