Natural burial is an alternative to traditional cremation or casket burials. It aims to reduce the environmental footprint of the burial process by not embalming the body with plastics and by burying it in a decomposable coffin made from cardboard or cane, without any glue, lacquer or screws. It&#8217;s also possible to forgo a coffin entirely and be buried six feet down wrapped in a simple shroud.<\/p>\n<p>Environmentally sustainable burials are already possible in Australia, however Walawaani Way is the first cemetery to offer only natural burials, and so far has 35 plots available. Education-based, not-for-profit organisation Natural Death Advocacy Network Australia \u2014 of which Walawaani Way is a member \u2014 recorded 14 natural burial sites nationally in 2020. That number had doubled by 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The network&#8217;s president, Rebecca Lyons, said the opening of the first entirely-natural cemetery was a big step forward and a conversation starter. &#8220;Everything needs its flagship, and this is the first in Australia,&#8221; she said. Ms Lyons said the practice was popular because it was cheaper and better for the environment. According to the federal government&#8217;s Moneysmart site, funerals in Australia can cost &#8220;from $4,000 for a basic cremation to about $15,000 for a more elaborate&#8221; burial. Plots at Walawaani Way cost $3,850.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2024-06-26\/natural-burial-cemetery-walawaani-way-bodalla-conservation-area\/104008896\">ABC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-551\/\">Australia&#8217;s first all-natural burial cemetery, Walawaani Way in Bodalla, aims to reforest disused farmland<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[616,15076,575,15077],"class_list":["post-131952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-australia","tag-cemetary","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-walawaani-way"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131952\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
