In addition to exploring green burial options, the documentary A Will for the Woods shows how funeral planning can be palliative and an opportunity to shape a legacy.

I’ve been researching the regulations relating to green burials for someone I’m helping, who wants her body to leave a positive impact on the environment.  Without the use of chemicals in the body; coffins, steel or concrete for burial; and without pollution from cremation, we are finding a way for her to feel good about the impact her physical body will have after her death.  I recommend watching A Will for the Woods to begin this exploration process.
