Choose a Burial Plan – The Remains of Your Days

green burial

This morning I am very much alive. I’m getting in my morning run, doing a little strength work and planning my next travel ventures. Still, that mental nudge comes every now and then. It says, “Be kind to your family. Make those decisions about burial, the remains of your days.”

Since the early days of the pandemic, I’ve had a folder from a nearby green burial cemetery on my desk. It is, to my way of thinking, the most practical and reasonable burial. Still, I procrastinate.

Are Plans for Your Burial Predetermined by Your Faith or Family Tradition?

For many women my age, who follow their religious traditions, the how, when and where of burial are, to a high degree, determined.

For many others, it is a matter of family tradition. You may choose to follow that tradition and be buried with the last several generations of your family in the same cemetery or crypt.

Cremation and Other Options

But what of for those of us who have drifted around this globe, lived in a variety of regions and have family members who have done the same? Is there any one best option?

More and more, individuals and families have moved toward cremation. I have attended ceremonies for friends whose remains are in a designated church wall or garden. Other times I have watched as friends lovingly scattered ashes from a boat on the ocean, over a meadow and across a much-loved hiking trail of the deceased. In this article, USA Today outlines the pros and cons of cremation.

Green Burial

And then, there is green burial. I first heard of this perhaps 20 years ago, when a Funeral Consumers Alliance gave an informational presentation at my church. Information and availability on green burial has expanded since then.

I did an internet search and found a number of sites, one of which is a cemetery reasonably close to my current home. And that is how I come to have the folder on my desk, nagging me to either take some action or put that folder in the paper recycling and by default, leave the decision to my family.

So, What Is Green Burial?

Also referred to as natural burial, everything placed in the ground for a burial must be non-toxic and biodegradable. A shroud made from a biodegradable cloth (usually silk, linen or wool) is wrapped around the body. A casket is optional. If used, most are wood, wool, bamboo or seagrass.

There are more specific requirements that must be met to be certified by the Green Burial Council. The link has more detailed information as well as an interactive map of certified green burial sites in the USA and Canada. I would expect there are similar organizations and cemeteries in other countries.

Generally, green cemeteries are located in wooded areas where burial locations blend in with the natural setting.

As it happens, this green cemetery near me is located adjacent to a greenway path I have run, biked and walked over the years. Only non-quarried or river rock are used for headstones, if in fact you want one.

Burial plots are located in a wooded area. After burial, non-invasive ground cover or bushes are planted on the gravesite so the site remains as natural as possible.

What of Economic and Environmental Factors for Green vs Traditional Burial

Overall, the cost of the traditional burialis the more expensive, both economically and environmentally. The article above speaks to the differences between cremation and burial.

This article in Business Insider does a general overview of the economic and environmental impact of different types of burial and cremation.

In the end, costs, both environmental and economic, may be a consideration, but so is what feels right for you and for your family. As for me, writing this article has me leaning more closely toward taking another look at a future plot in the woods, then heading off to the nearby running path to celebrate my decision.

Do you have strong feelings about this final earthly decision? Did you consider it along with your will and other documents? Does your family already know about your wishes?

Two Badass Women Just Got Bangs & They Look Amazing

Is there anything better than getting your hair cut and/or colored, leaving the salon and feeling like a supermodel? No, we don’t think there is. But because of the current climate, seeing your hairstylist might not be as easy and getting your split ends cut off or your roots done might just be a quick in-and-out appointment without all the fun. That’s one reason why we’re so obsessed with actors and influencers who switch up their look on a dime. We’re jealous, sure, but it’s also aspirational AF. So, we’re rounding up the best celebrity hair makeovers of 2021 as they come so you can drool with us.

Though, it’s not just about drooling over these looks. Saving this page and referring back to it at the hair salon can help you decide if curtain bangs or a bob is right for you. Hairstylists actually love when you show them photos because they can get a real feel of the vibe you’re looking for and can adjust the look into something that suits your wants and needs. This goes for color, too. Did you ask for balayage when you really meant a shadow root? It’s easier to just give examples of what you want.

Some of these celebrity looks aren’t permanent. Stars love to play around with wigs, extensions and faux bangs. But there’s nothing wrong with that. Real or faux, we’re taking inspo from our favorites to figure out our next look for 2021 and beyond.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

“Ya gal’s bang’d up,” the Game of Thrones star wrote on Instagram stories over the weekend. The choppy, piece-y style is different from the blunt bangs we’ve seen her rock before. We love this low-key fringe for summer because it’s easy to pin back or grow into curtain bangs.

Kim Kardashian

We’ve seen the media mogul try just about every hairstyle but the lob will always be our favorite. This one has a gorgeous curled-under ’70s vibe.

Look who’s blonde again! But it was only for a few hours. Kardashian was shooting an upcoming campaign either for KKW Beauty or Skims. She actually did get her eyebrows bleached and we actually loved the look with her naturally dark hair. But then when they put the blonde wing on it was like, whoa. Right before she left the studio, she snapped a photo showing us she’s back to brunette again, including the brows.

Say goodbye to curtain bangs and hello to ‘Bardot bangs!’ Hairstylist Laurie Heaps gave Sabrina Carpenter piece-y bombshell bangs inspired by the iconic French star Brigitte Bardot. We’re obsessed.

Selena Gomez

In an Instagram photo promoting her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, in April 2021, Gomez showed off her newly dyed blonde hair. The picture saw the former Disney Channel star light blonde tresses and dark roots. She most recently dyed her hair blonde in 2017 in a color dubbed by her hairstylist Nikki Lee as “Nirvana Blonde.” Gomez’s 2021 color was also done by Lee and Riawna Capri. “We’ve been doing Selena’s color for over a decade now. She typically keeps it pretty natural, but this time she went for a big change. This blonde is unique to her as we had to make sure there was an equal balance of cool and warm for her skin tone. It’s an edgier look and perfect for summer,” the hairstylists said in a statement.

I kept her haircut free and flowing with piecey layers around the face.” Lee keeps her client’s hair healthy with the In Common 3 Step Treatment System ($105 at In Common).

Katy Perry

Why not start with one of the biggest hair chameleons? Though she’s been ultra-blonde for a while, we can’t help but miss a brunette Katy Perry. It’s classically chic and fits her personality. So, when we saw these photos of backstage at Jimmy Kimmel Live, we were so excited to see the long brown hair. But it seems it’s a wig and she’s already back to blonde.
