What is a "Green Funeral"?

According to the Green Burial Council, "Green burial is burial that can
take place without the use of formaldehyde-based embalming, metal
caskets, and concrete burial vaults. It's essentially the way most of
humanity has cared for its dead for thousands of years up until the late
19th century."

According to Mark Harris, author of "Grave Matters: A Journey Through


the Modern Funeral Industry to a Natural Way of Burial," "It's a lot more
than just about the environment. It's a return to tradition. It speaks to
the idea of dust to dust," Harris said. "This is the way we used to bury
people, in the first hundred years of our country's history."

This is exactly what a Jewish funeral entails. We do not use embalming,


but instead use refrigeration. Not only are the caskets used in Jewish
funerals constructed of wood, but they are assembled without the use of
any metal or non-biodegradable fasteners. The caskets are assembled
using glue and wooden dowels. Therefore, in accordance with Jewish
Law, our caskets do not delay the "dust to dust" requirements.
