Discover the growing movement that's revolutionizing how we think about our final farewell. In this episode of Death and Dying in the Digital Age, funeral celebrant and green burial advocate Carin Bonifacino reveals how modern burial practices are returning to their natural roots—where bodies can nurture the earth rather than be sealed away from it. Learn why the 'six feet under' rule is a myth, how traditional Jewish and Muslim communities have maintained natural burial practices, and why some cemeteries are transforming into nature preserves. Carin breaks down the surprisingly affordable options for those seeking a gentler environmental impact in death. She also exposes common industry misconceptions and 'greenwashing' practices to watch out for, while explaining why GPS coordinates might become the new headstones. Whether you're pre-planning or simply curious about sustainable alternatives to traditional burial, this conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about death care.
