Eco-friendly Cremation

Top 4 Ways To Have A Eco-friendly Cremation

Table of Contents

Death is an inevitable part of life, and funeral rituals are steeped in tradition intending towards honouring the deceased and helping guide their soul. However, traditional methods of disposing of a dead body can be harmful to the environment. Here are the 4 best eco-friendly ways to dispose of a dead body while respecting funeral rituals.

1. Contribute to the greens!

    Although there is no direct way to turn a human body into a gorgeous tree, feeding a growing tree can assist in transforming a dead body into an element of the environment.

    The process of transforming a dead body into a tree is called “human composting” or “natural organic reduction”. Capsula Mundi was the initiator of this wonderful approach. 

    For several weeks, the body undergoes a natural decomposition process, resulting in nutrient-rich soil that can be used to grow a tree or other plants. It also offers a unique way to memorialise loved ones by providing a living tribute in the form of a tree.

    2. Cremation using eco-friendly materials

      Cremation is a traditional funeral ritual that involves burning the body on a pyre. However, traditional cremation services can be harmful to the environment as they use large amounts of wood and can emit harmful pollutants. An eco-friendly alternative is to use materials like compressed coconut shells or bamboo to create the pyre.

      These materials are renewable and sustainable, making them an eco-friendly option for cremation services. Additionally, using eco-friendly materials can also reduce the amount of smoke and pollution produced during the process, making it a more environment-friendly option

      Cremation Services in Pune and Hyderabad by Beleiv will provide these amenities based on your convenience for your deceased loved one.

      3. Natural burial

      Natural burial is another method of disposing of a dead body that allows the body to decompose naturally in the ground. It involves placing the body in a biodegradable shroud or casket made of materials like bamboo, wicker, or pine, and burying it in a designated natural burial ground.

      This method avoids the use of chemicals and materials that can harm the environment and allows the body to decompose naturally, returning the nutrients to the soil and benefiting the local ecosystem. Natural burial can also provide a sense of connection with nature. If you want to honour your deceased loved one through natural burial, Beleiv will guide you through the Cremation Services in Hyderabad or any other part of India.

      4. Bidding Goodbye through Liquification!

        This is possible through Aquamation, also termed, alkaline hydrolysis. It is a relatively new method of disposing of a dead body that uses water and alkaline chemicals to accelerate the natural decomposition process. The body is placed in a special machine that uses high pressure and heat to break down the body’s tissues and bones.

        The resulting liquid is a sterile solution that can be safely returned to the environment, such as through irrigation or used in the production of fertiliser. The bones are then pulverised into a fine powder that can be returned to the family as a memorial or scattered in a location of their choice.

        Aquamation is a highly eco-friendly method of disposing of a dead body. It uses significantly less energy than other cremation services in India and avoids the harmful emissions and air pollution associated with traditional cremation services, making it an excellent choice for people who would want to contribute to the betterment of the planet. 

        Conclusion

        Traditional methods of disposing of a dead body can be harmful to the environment. However, by using the above-mentioned eco-friendly alternatives, we can honour our funeral rituals while also minimising our impact on the planet. 

        Each of these methods has its unique benefits and considerations, so discuss these options with your loved ones and choose the method that best aligns with your values and wishes. By choosing an eco-friendly method of disposing of a dead body, we can honour our loved ones while also caring for the planet.
