Interesting recent article in the Indy Star describing the growing interest in green burials. I'm not sure how many Indiana Funeral Homes have been asked about green burials. We have often been asked about cheap caskets and discount funerals, but I cannot remember any director at Indiana Funeral Care having been asked to perform a green burial.
Since there are no green cemeteries in Indiana, it would be quite a challenge. We could partially achieve a green burial by using a minimum casket and a Jewish Orthodox burial container, which has an opening in the bottom of the container. This would permit the un-embalmed remains of the deceased to be "returned to the earth" over time.
