As a funeral director/ embalmer , i will always respect the different ways people would like to be either buried or cremated. Embalming is not for everyone and that’s ok. Some families still want the traditional funeral service with a viewing and a burial. Most now choose cremation but still want a viewing and some kind of service. In Connecticut I believe there is a society trying to buy a large piece of land to start a green burial cemetery. I hope they are able to do it. I did not get into this profession to get rich. I firmly believe in helping families choose what they want. My job is to help them get there.
This is the most respectful way to send off a loved one. No chemicals, no salesmen, no environmental damage. And you won't leave your family with the stress of an expensive funeral.
I'm already 100% decided on a green burial for myself. Let my body nourish the earth as it has nourished me. A bushland glade, a simple cotton shroud, and a hole in the ground. I take great pleasure in knowing that the years after my burial, trees will continue to grow strong around me, and the bush birds will make their homes above my heart.
Mike Michaels, you have completely changed my view of typical funerals. When you stated and I quote "There is nothing natural about being pumped full of chemicals, put on display, and then sealed in an overpriced box." It really put things in perspective for me. Thanks! I'm going to be rethinking my last wishes and request as it pertains to my final resting place and method.
This is an option my husband & I are looking at because we are concerned for the environment. I like the idea of preserving open space w/ minimal headstones.
There are options, you just have to check local and state laws, some places do not require a "vault" so a wooden box can just be lowered into the ground, some allow you to be planted just in a linen shroud, but a lot of opposition from funeral homes and people who are disgusted and mistakenly thinking you remain as pretty as when you are sealed for eternity. Let me go "back to earth" and don't grieve for me as I am out of this beshitted mess and don't have to worry about war or disease or stupidity or hatred,
War, disease, stupidity and hatred have existed from the beginning and will be there until the end so why worry about those things enough to even mention them?
In the Scottish Borders we have the Hundy Mundy Wood Natural Burial Ground near Mellerstain House. The burial ground is set on a hill among mature trees and with wonderful views across the Border's countryside. There is also a large stone gothic folly, similar to the towers dotted around the Borders.Someone I knew at primary school lies here,with just a simple marker and I think others have no plaque at all. It's very peaceful,and the wind whispering through the grass and trees can give you a great sense of calm while you reflect on the life of a loved one or friend.
I agree with you I bury all my pets and even some strays I'm a cat person they're all over my yard buried with rosaries or worn out bibles . I realize state law prevents burying humans at home what a pity I have a lot of woods and grounds
@@Ms2blackcatsactually most states do allow you to be buried on personal property. But you would have to check your local laws. My childhood friend was buried on her parents property close to their pond that she loved ❤
This was a good informative video. I’ve already been looking into natural burial and found a place that’s a nature preserve that only allows shrouds or natural casket options and the only type of headstones they allow are a small brass marker
There is such a high mark up on funeral expenses. This is a respectful way to bury the dead. So beautiful. Thank you for providing these options. Bless you for sharing.
I don't even care about liberal or conservatives opinions. I don't get why people put the dead in caskets anyway. A simple cloth wrapped around the body is good enough imo.
@@danip3270 if the dead are space at even 3 meters apart ,center to center, the trees will fight for survival at such small spacing however that is a good idea. The management of this green burial places can always plan how to set the trees apart, so it's not necessarily one tree for every buried body. That will be a lush Forest but haunted🙄😳
Thank you for this thoughtful presentation. I've opted for a green burial on my property. It's not hard to arrange, at least for me. I simply had a surveyor survey a 1/4 acre parcel, registered it with the county and that's it. The only requirement was that the hole be 5' deep.
Oh I love this so much , going back to the Mother earth as we should be , Mother embraces us .Making us a part of her to nourish the soil and prosper . This should be in every state of the union not forced to be buried in a fiberglass box or a pressuer concrete container as they demand in Florida
@Bad Omen i seriously reached the same point youre at, 99% of ppl hating on islam have absurdly wrong facts it just baffles me how did they fall for such rumors in the first place? Its like saying "in america if someone is caught kissing in public he will be hanged and burned alive while being dragged around the streets for everyone to watch" logically if someone were to believe that kind of absurd bs litterly the moment he reads it (wich is what these braindead morons do when reading rumors about islam) then its safe to assume he's just blinded by his hatred for america (in this eg) and no american would even bother arguing with such a moron to dissprove it becaus only a totall *retard* would believe something like that and those type of ppl are not the kind to argue with but the kind to *ignore* .
How do you bury all the Jews and CHRISTians that you've killed since muhammad submitted to his wife when he told her satan was in the cave speaking to him NOT the Angel GabriEL.
Wow - as a Muslim I didn't realize that "green burials" were not more common. This is the traditional Islamic burial. We don't use any chemicals and wrap the deceased in a simple white shroud. Beyond the environmental benefits, it's the most respectful to the deceased as there body is not desecrated and filled with chemicals. We are from the Earth and we will return to the Earth. There is no need to slow the inevitable and harm the environment in the process.
Really well done. Also, there are over 100 natural burial sites operating in the US. The conservation burial sites preserve their land in perpetuity with a qualified Land Trust.
I was just talking to my husband about this the other day.. I didn't know it was really a thing.wow. I love this. I hate the thought of of a big metal casket but in concrete in the ground. I I hope this becomes the normal.❤
Genesis 3:19, KJV: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return
I'm a disabled veteran and watch a lot of television in the evening especially MeTV there is so much advertising about the cost of funerals and how I need Life Insurance it's depressed me no end . My great grandfather who's a Civil War veteran is buried out in the old family burying ground it doesn't give me the creeps to visit his grave. Do they even call it graves anymore ? or is it plots !
YOOO this is what I’ve been looking for sadly I live in Chicago but ever since I knew and comprehend what death was I knew I didn’t want to be embalmed or cemented. My whole family thinks it’s really weird but I mean being filled with chemicals or being burnt in to ashes and but in a fire place seems much weirded to me than being buried naturally the way we were supposed to .
Why are you superstitious? This is a natural thing--same as if you watched a wedding or childbirth video. It's another rite of life's passage. Maybe you're too Catholic like my family is.
Is this something that black families take part in? I did not notice any pictures of black families. I would like to be the first black family...in addition, what is the cost compared to traditional burials?
Super late, but this for ANY AND EVERYONE. I'm black also and I want something like this. It's just not common in our community here if you're American also. The cost is way cheaper than traditional funerals because the funeral industry overcharges A LOT.
I've opted for this. I have land near my cabin and a portion was set aside and surveyed as a cemetary. All I had to do was record it with the county. My will has instructions that if my wishes are not followed all of my assets go the various charities.
Same thing I want except I am going t use a wicker casket i make myself, still got around two years to go but got most of the planning done already, I want to go back to the earth i took so much from
I'd rather just have immediate cremation no service and dispose of my ashes, but have my obituary put in the newspaper. That's the way I'm going no expensive funeral and burial. I want my family to save the money for their selfs.
I like your thinking I don&t like embalming it's like pickling. I was born to this world that want respect even after life. Thank you SHERRY WOLF 🌹🌹 🌹🌹 🌹🌹 🌹
I hope they have something like this in Ohio near my area because this is exactly what I want. I happen to think the modern cemeteries and embalming and those polished caskets are very creepy
Phyllis Stokes had done a Video on her page regarding Natural Burial. She and her husband had this plan for them. He died in July 2019. She described the process to the tee as this Video presents. I just assumed it was a Law the body has to be encased in a Casket because of bodily fluids leaking ?
I’m curious and absolutely behind natural and green burials, but concerned with the liability behind viewing an unembalmed corpse. As someone in the funeral industry, I’m unsure how to proceed with my desire to offer natural burials to people without being sued for emotional distress.
This is as things need to go back to , God's way , I buried my son Stevie 20 yrs ago now , the bill was 15, 000. Bad enough your mind is shout down your dying inside , can't even think of your own name , your heart has stopped beating , all you can think is why wasn't it me and not my child , funeral homes really really take advantage of you , sorry bout that , I still cry and it's been 20 yrs , I still can't feel my heart 💔 beat , I truly believe natural way is better , I know my Stevie would have liked it , 😘☮️😇💕
You have this process done in Florida to we live in St Petersburg Clearwater area and I'm looking for something like this for my demise when it's time green burial nobody knows what the heck that is in this area they want to put you in a casket inside the grounds with spending thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars that are a waste for me personally to be put into the ground I'm looking into green burial but nobody knows what's going on can you find out if there's ever going to be a place like this and this area thank you
I have been checking for my pre plan. $2800 PLUS milage to pick up my carcass, transport to the funeral home PLUS $800 for a shroud PLUS I have to pre pay a local contractor to dig the hole. NO embalming, NO service, NO prep, just wrap my ass up and drop in the ground. Cemetery is $100. plus $50 for "perpetual care". Just plant a rose bush and let me go already. BUT $2800 for basically NOTHING. Cheaper for cremation. Rip off assholes.
I want this kind of burial, so natural, organic and basic. Without embalming and over priced casket. Body must undergo a natural process of decaying that feeds nature., 😊
I'm coming 'late to the game', but what about on privately owned, unincorporated land? I want a 'green funeral', and my son owns forty acres of land, out in the middle of nowhere, where I'd like to be placed. Who do I contact - the county, a funeral home - who?
I really want to go green , but my concern is that it's not really green if your literally using up a small parcel of land for eternity. The video does not mention the spacing of bodies, which is considerably more than the embalming process.
Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you Return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For Dust you are and dust you will return.
I'm really thinking about this for when I die. I'm young but I sometimes wonder about all of chemicals and treated wood buried in the earth right now. I want my body to return to the earth like it's supposed to.
this is exactly what i want, wrapped nothing but in a white 100% natural cotton sheet, buried in the ground without a casket or worse of all a giant cement box that would never decompose. i just don't understand that policy of burying a body in cement
But will the laws of the local community allow a natural burial / non embalming/ no concrete sarcophagus. I. E. How the remains will affect the local water table ? I think this a much more natural way .
Great idea, give the minerals your life depended on back to the earth without the toxic embalming fluid, I hope that option's available when it's my time.
This is the future of the funeral business. It’s so refreshing and natural to be involved in your loved ones final arrangements. This is fantastic.
As a funeral director/ embalmer , i will always respect the different ways people would like to be either buried or cremated. Embalming is not for everyone and that’s ok.

everyone is different and good when people respect others choices and not put them on a guilt trip because they want embalming
This is the most respectful way to send off a loved one. No chemicals, no salesmen, no environmental damage. And you won't leave your family with the stress of an expensive funeral.
It’s not disrespectful to have any type of funeral. It depends on the person, and in the family.

this is it.........all natural, the way it should be!
clocking out amen!
I'm putting this in my will save money for my family.
Nochy's Mama you should look into it it's not as cheap as you would think
Awesome. Ashes to ashes dirt to dirt.we came from dirt to return to dirt.amen.
Do it by yourself, I hate how they need to make money out of something this simple
Why leave it for your family? Pay for it before you go. 😁
Your will won't be read until after you're in the ground, so you better tell them now and leave it in writing but not in the will.

Agreed. Also, if there's a zombie apocalypse, you'd have a much easier time getting out of cloth than a heavy casket.
Then whom would reap the benefits of death
Brendan Alimony u stupid
because money
Beautiful wicker casket! Never saw one before this.
That's a good idea..What i can add is instead of stones why not put seedling to grow into a tree and make the cemetery looks like a forest.
Pacific Ally Nice idea. Only issue I could see is having enough land to make sure the trees all have enough space for roots and sunlight.

Just learning about this from seeing Chris Daughtry interview talking about the natural burial of his daughter. I think it is an excellent idea.
Very interesting. Thank you for an alternative.
Next thing will be putting our loved one's out with the trash.
@@crazycrazy6596 uhm

the body decomposes the quickest if only covered by 3.5' of ground. But who is going to measure after the burial hole is covered?
I really like this idea.
Hurting big business by this! Lol love it

You would think so but I actually looked into this and it was more expensive than a regular burial LOL

@@kaitlynzuniga You can do everything yourself. It's not costly. Not at all.

This is how we bury our dead in Islam. Just a simple piece of cloth wrapped around the body, and bury them in the earth.
Yes, they act like this is a new method, these burials have been going on for centuries.

Dust you will return.

gain weight.

I just wonder, when the body is falling a part . How do you handle the ground not caving in ?????
it does somewhat but by planting a tree, the roots make up for that.
That WICKER CASKET........
Sad thing is they charge a fucking fortune to do something that could legally be done on your own farm property.

So these people should provide all these services after you die for free? What you describe is getting off cheap.
How can this be done and not contaminate the ground water? In my town, you cannot bury pets in your backyard for the same reason?

I'm really thinking about this for when I die. I'm young but I sometimes wonder about all of chemicals and treated wood buried in the earth right now. I want my body to return to the earth like it's supposed to.
this is exactly what i want, wrapped nothing but in a white 100% natural cotton sheet, buried in the ground without a casket or worse of all a giant cement box that would never decompose. i just don't understand that policy of burying a body in cement
Ikr why do humans like to make things so complicated
That´s how ALL burials should be!
Wow...different! Neat!
But will the laws of the local community allow a natural burial / non embalming/ no concrete sarcophagus. I. E. How the remains will affect the local water table ? I think this a much more natural way .
Great idea, give the minerals your life depended on back to the earth without the toxic embalming fluid, I hope that option's available when it's my time.
This is what I want when I die
