When the time comes for us to part this world, wise choices involving our burial methods tend to escape some of us, as we want to leave as flamboyantly as our savings would allow us. But for those who want to take the environmentally friendly approach to the grave, there are options readily available such as green cemeteries, and biodegradable coffins.

Perhaps the coolest things shown would be the Bios Urns, the Ecocoffin, the “Shelves for Life”–functioning shelves by day, and coffin by night, and the snazzy EcoPods.
