Many Americans had their first look at green burial, also called natural burial, in 2005, when the HBO drama series Six Feet Under concluded with the death of funeral home owner Nate Fisher. Nate’s unembalmed body was buried in a shroud on a plot of land in a nature preserve. GreenBurials.org defines green burial as service involving no embalming, no concrete vault, no traditional caskets, and little or no human-made changes to the burial site, such as grave markers. The Green Burial Council defines green burial as an environmental burial, employing "minimal environmental impact," "legitimate ecological aims," and a "conservation of natural resources." - See more at: http://www.sevenponds.com/after-death/choosing-green-burial-or-natural-burial#sthash.RrW3PfCN.dpuf
