Honoring Veterans with Natural Burial and Biodegradable Urns

Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who have died while serving our country in the United States. Memorial Day offers a chance to come together, remember the fallen, and express our deepest gratitude to all who have served.

For families grieving the loss of a loved one who served in the military, selecting a final resting place can be a deeply personal decision. Traditionally, veterans have been laid to rest in cemeteries with headstones. 

However, a growing trend is emerging: natural burials and the use of biodegradable urns. This approach offers an eco-friendly and meaningful way to honor veterans while minimizing environmental impact.

The Rise of Natural Burials: Return to Nature

Natural burial, also known as green burial, prioritize a more natural and sustainable approach to death care. This involves minimal use of preserved chemicals and non-biodegradable materials like concrete vaults. Cemeteries dedicated to natural burials typically offer designated areas with minimal landscaping, allowing the body to decompose naturally and return nutrients to the earth.
