Britain is leading the world in green burials as more and more people decide to be laid to rest in woodlands, meadows, farmlands and other habitats which are rich in wildlife – and there are no laws preventing it as there are in many other countries. New research shows that people choose green burials because of sustainability, to be in a pleasant, peaceful place which means something to them, or because local cemeteries are full.
