What is Ecological Burial? Can you give an example? Ecological burial, simply put, is a burial method oriented to saving resources and protecting the environment.
For example, tree burials and lawn burials are all ecological burials.
Tree burial is to bury the ashes deep under a designated tree, or scatter the ashes in the soil and plant a tree on top as a memorial. In this way, the deceased is like a tree, one with nature, and endlessly. Try to imagine that every time the spring flowers bloom, the tree will sprout, grow leaves, and bloom, as if telling the story of the deceased. And we can also use this tree to remember and commemorate our loved ones who have passed away.
Lawn burial is a type of burial in which an urn is buried deep under the lawn. Similar to tree burials, lawn burials have very small tombstones, and some even have no tombstones, just put a stone on the ground as a marker. In this way, not only does the whole cemetery look neater and more beautiful, but also on a green lawn, in addition to a few small flowers, there are also small stones to mark the deceased relatives. Whenever you come here to stop and remember, you can feel the breath of your loved ones and the tranquility of nature, which can not only remember the deceased, but also give the living psychological comfort.
At present, for individuals and their families who adopt ecological burial, it is a positive response to the national policy of changing customs and customs, and relevant policies and benefits can be consulted with the local civil affairs department.
