Contemporary burial practices have been scrutinised for their negative environmental impacts – from the harmful chemicals used to bury an individual, to the large areas of land that cemeteries take up for only one land use.

Technological advances have allowed for more sustainable burial practices which include the integration of green infrastructure into cemeteries, the use of biodegradable caskets, and even human composting.

Learn more about these sustainable burial practices and register for the upcoming ILASA webinar.
