What is a Green Burial?

Green burials, also sometimes called eco-funerals or natural burials, provide a simple, green option for saying goodbye to a loved one. Green burials typically don’t involve embalming – instead, family and friends may choose to wrap their loved one in a shroud made of eco-friendly, biodegradable material and choose an eco-friendly casket. Using land sustainably for burial purposes, such as choosing communal memorialization and planting with native plants, is also often part of a green burial. Your local funeral director can provide advice about and help you plan a suitable green burial for your loved one.

Meeting Family Dental Needs

Finding a dentist that can meet the needs of all members of your family is important. Kids often need different dental care than their parents do, whether it’s catching potential problems early or helping kids through losing their first teeth. Parents may be looking for advice on dental work or teeth whitening products for themselves. Whatever their dental needs may be, families often need flexibility when it comes to appointment scheduling and a dental team that can be there for sudden emergencies. Look for a dentist who has great rapport with the whole family, from youngest to oldest!
