This allows the body to be in direct contact with the earth, promoting faster decomposition and enriching the soil. Natural burial sites are often natural, undeveloped areas such as forests, meadows, or conservation areas. These sites are carefully chosen to be in harmony with the surrounding environment, ensuring that the burial has minimal impact on the ecosystem. Families can choose to plant trees or native plants as a living memorial to their loved one, further enhancing the ecological value of the site.
