I have to admit that I have never contemplated the environmental impacts of cemeteries. I know that from a land usage standpoint... well, they often take up a lot of land and have a near zero shot of ever being utilized (at least in our lifetime, ha) for another purpose. But there are obviously some people that have thought the environmental impacts and taken steps to return the burial process to a more organic one. The article below is about a few individuals in various parts of the country who have established "green cemeteries", the benefits they see in them and how they see this trend continuing.
