It is the cemeteries themselves. There are actually very few State or local laws preventing this practice.Like the Health insurance industry ,the huge funeral industry has made alot of good money requiring burial vaults ($800-$5000)that line the graves to put those expensive metal caskets in. And although actually Ft. Collins Colorado is about 12 years behind the 1st Green cemeteries to offer green burials specifically (which were in Ramsey Creek in South Carolina 1998 and Fernwood in Northern California in 2004 which is where and when I was fortunate to begin working in Green Burial (www.greenburialproducts.com) it is grand that they are starting to offer them now like Goes Funeral Care in Ft. Collins who has been offering families natural deathcare. Thank you for this ! John- It is actually rare that local governments make “laws” preventing Green Burial. It is the cemeteries themselves.
