Where we go when we die has been one of the most important philosophical questions since the dawn of history. In a literal sense, where we physically go, that question has had the same few answers for centuries — in the ground, in a coffin, or cremated. As the world looks to help the environment in a variety of ways, though, new and sustainable methods known as green burials are gaining traction. These alternative burial practices can now be found throughout the state, and they are giving people more options in their final resting place.
