GREEN BURIALS

A green or natural burial emphasizes simplicity and environmental sustainability. The body is neither cremated nor prepared for burial with chemicals. The body of the deceased is simply placed in a biodegradable coffin or wrapped in a shroud and interred without the presence of a concrete burial vault. The body in its final resting place, therefore, will return to nature.

The Arnold Mills Cemetery is one of only a small number of Rhode Island cemeteries to offer the green burial option - an option that today is more frequently chosen.. Learn more through this article published in The Valley Breeze in 2017 regarding green burials at Arnold Mills.
