Rest in peace, rest green

If you are concerned about protecting the environment and leave a better planet for your loved ones, you might want to start thinking about your funeral. Indeed, although this is not a common topic of conversation is important.
A traditional coffin made of wood or metal, besides being expensive, contains various polluting elements (varnishes, metal parts and other synthetic elements) that cannot be degradable. Cremation is also a polluting process, since it involves the emission of toxic gases. 
Companies now are offering a wide range of ecological, innovative and cheaper biodegradable coffins and urns to help reduce the soil contamination, the carbon footprint and toxic gases produced during the incineration.
