There is something quietly beautiful about choosing a cardboard box for your final resting place. No polish, no ornament, no unnecessary grandeur... just simplicity, humility, and the gentle reminder that, in the end, we all return to the most basic elements.

Casket delivery day at the old country parlor. It is always a thrill when Aaron rolls up in his big white truck. In their work crafting burial vessels, Natural Burial Vessels uses rattan, sea grass, water hyacinth, pandan leaf, banana plant fiber, and bamboo.

I wanted to show what a green burial looks like at a hybrid cemetery. Many images of a natural burial show a shroud or natural casket in a complete natural setting, but this sort of burial happens at standard cemeteries all the time.

Notice the setup with the greens as well as upright headstone markers in the background. Many traditional cemeteries do allow natural burial.

After this very eclectic and wonderful human was lowered into the ground, his daughter and good friend reached for shovels and covered him completely with soil. They worked harmoniously in a beautiful effort of their physical last act of love to honor him.
