You may be able to arrange for a green burial on private property owned by yourself, by friends, or by relatives. However, you must be sure to follow all local regulations and begin the planning process well in advance. Generally, states do not have laws governing burial on private property. As a result, decisions are often left to counties and towns. Most will allow for private property burial, but each area has slightly different requirements. Often creating a survey or map of your property is necessary to provide notice to future owners. It is a good idea to begin by speaking with your local county planning department.
