3 types of green cemeteries

Green burials come in 3 shades of green. First the hybrid, let’s call this kelly green, a kelly green cemetery is a conventional cemetery that has an area for burials without a concrete vault or chemical embalming. The next is a dedicated natural burial cemetery let’s call this forrest green, that uses no non-native materials down to the burial stones. Finally there is conservation burial ground, let’s call this sea foam green, and has deed restrictions so that the land will never be used or developed for another reason.
