THE CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Our Natural and Green burials take place in locations of great beauty and conservation value, providing both solace and sustainability.
Natural burial avoids the use of toxic embalming chemicals that can harm morticians and the environment such as soil pollution and ground water contamination.
- It conserves precious resources such as hardwoods normally used for caskets and thus protecting natural forests.
- The use of metals (used in conventional caskets) as well as concrete (for burial vaults) is restricted and the impact on the environment is therefore reduced.
- For individuals who want to reduce their carbon footprint after death, a natural burial can be an excellent way to reduce this impact.https://www.joincake.com/blog/natural-burial

THE PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH OF INDUSTRY WORKERS
Conventional embalming make use of formaldehyde, a carcinogen. Regular exposure to these chemicals,
leads to health risks. It has been known to be mutagenic (an agent, such as radiation or a chemical substance,
which causes genetic mutation).
Other health effects include burning of the eyes, irritation to upper respiratory passages, pneumonitis, wheezing, productive cough, and dermatitis. Formaldehyde is also known to cause cancer.

Green burial prohibits conventional embalming. There are now formaldehyde-free alternatives to conventional embalming fluid, however, make up mostly of essential oils, which have been approved by the Green Burial Council and will not harm the health of the embalmer.
