Blue Pine Coffins

“In a green burial, the body is not cremated or embalmed and no chemicals are used. There’s no vault in the ground so the body can biodegrade faster,” Danielle Newberry explained. “That’s a big money saver and it’s better for the environment. It’s also something beautiful you can feel good about. It’s not going to pollute and isn’t detrimental to the environment.”
