AFTER DEATH: WHAT ARE THE BURIAL ALTERNATIVES TO REST IN PEACE?
After death: What are the burial alternatives to rest in peace?
Placing a deceased loved one in a casket or saving their cremated remains in an urn have been the conventional methods of burial for centuries, both out of tradition and safety.
However, modern ideas about natural or “greener” options for body disposal, combined with advanced technology, have resulted in many innovative and creative ways to memorialize loved ones.
While they vary in cost and availability by region, and are sometimes limited by current science, unique alternatives such as space burial or eco-friendly pods are changing the way we approach the inevitability of death.
