They stress "A burial system that allows the body or cremains interment in the ground or sea in a manner that does not inhibit decomposition.
The essential aspects of green burial are the absence of a (cement or metal) grave liner or vault, non-toxic preparation of the body (no embalming), and use of containers made of organic(bio-degradable) materials.
