Okay. Hey everyone. We were asked to write about non-standard funerary practices available to Canadians. During class we've mentioned changing trends in the treatment of the dead. One thing that stuck out for me was the concept of "green" or "natural" burials (involving practices such as cremation or burials without a coffin or materials that aren't quick to decompose). These burials have less impact on the environment and save space. Though much of Canada isn't faced with limited space for burying the dead, this change can been seen as a move towards more environmentally conscious practices or changing views on what death and burials mean for Canadian's.

The website above provides an example of how funeral practices have changed. The site provides information on "natural" or "green" burials associated with Royal Oak Burial Park.
