Especially again, sort of like green burial, because there’s still misunderstanding about it in the wider community, in a lot of cases, that it’s not uncommon for people to be misinformed or told that it’s something they can’t do but in fact they can.”Weller said she supports people who want to have a traditional funeral and burial, and also those who want to pursue a different option that is also legally available but most wants people to understand there is choice so people can be well-informed in making the best decision for themselves.“Whatever choices people are making, to me there seems to be this veil of mystery that isn’t serving us as a culture in really engaging with death care, and we will be healthier regardless of whether it’s conventional or natural choices that people make, we as a society will actually be healthier when we re-engage with death for its humanity and for its place in our social fabric,” said Weller.
