Green burial also called direct burial, is the process of burying a body without the use of chemical preservation in a simple container to help preserve the earth. An eco-cemetery also known as a green burial ground, or a natural burial preserve is an environmentally sustainable alternative to existing funeral practices, where the body is returned to the earth to decompose naturally and be recycled into new life. http://tinyurl.com/2u4j6k

Simple and natural. Green burial, or natural burial, ensure the burial site remains as natural as possible in all respects. Interment of the bodies is done in a bio-degradable casket, shroud, or a favorite blanket. No embalming fluid, no concrete vaults. They use wicker caskets as the ones below!

I think they keep you refrigerated instead of embalming you and then they bury you in a thin pine box or a wicker basket.
