Curly Velasquez explores the growing popularity of Green Burials in the US.

Here in the US, Natural burials or “Green Burials” are slowly growing as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional burial or cremation. These burial practices are not a new concept, however, and have been used for years around the world. So how did we get to a point where green burials have seen a rise in interest?
