Green Hills Cemetery in upstate New York offers a full-service funeral and burial that is non-toxic to the environment. All materials used in the burial are natural and will decompose with no negative impact. Green Hills' service is relatively new in the United States, but services of this type are common in Great Britain. A typical burial in Green Hills' cemetery includes a casket made from bamboo, wicker, paper, or other natural material. There are no headstones of stone or concrete that will detract from the landscape, but trees and plants as "markers" are allowed. The cost for a burial at Green Hills is approximately $3,000, compared to about $6,000 at most traditional cemeteries. Although business was slow at first, Green Hills is now experiencing an increase in the number of burials, due to referrals and a newly-developed website. The owners of Green Hills were previously in the cemetery business, and are active conservationist and wanted to make their business more sustainable. After conducting research and finding that there were natural burial sites in Great Britain, they wanted to provide an alternative to other environmentally-conscious Americans like themselves.
