Forest Rest Natural Cemetery in Boones Mill, Virginia💐 Natural burial, once the standard in the U.S. and still practiced worldwide, is returning as families seek simpler, more intentional options. It involves no chemical embalming, no vault, and no expensive casket, with options like biodegradable linen shrouds or simple wooden boxes. These choices reduce environmental impact, lower costs for families, and allow the land to remain natural, with optional hand-dug graves and simple stone markers.
