Just so, is it better for the environment to be buried or cremated?
Although cremation is more eco-friendly than burial, cremations burn much natural gas (a temperature of to 750 to 800 degrees must be maintained for 45 to 90 minutes) releasing greenhouse gases and vaporising other chemicals that may be present in the body such as mercury (dental fillings) and dioxins and furans.
Correspondingly, what is the most environmentally friendly coffin?
Cardboard Coffins They are most often used for green burials and cremations. You can customize them with eco-friendly paints, etc. Cardboard coffins are the most economical biodegradable options. They range in price from $50 to $500.
If a burial vault is being used, there is no inherent requirement to use a casket. A person can be directly interred in the earth, in a shroud, or in a vault without a casket.
