1. Family Ances-tree? - Honor your loved one by growing a tree in his or her memory in a plant-able urn. This green option includes an urn made from recycled plant materials, a soil additive designed to counterbalance the natural properties of cremated remains to make the planting environment suitable for tree growth, aged wood chips and a tree seedling of choice.

2.Turn Over a New Leaf - Similar to the tree urns, these planters are available with a variety of indoor plants like flowers and bonsai trees. Once cremated remains are placed in the planter, the bonsai plant becomes a peaceful reminder of the legacy left by your loved one. Photo Credit: Bonsai Urn

3. Go with the Flow - Himalayan salt urns are a biodegradable way to honor a loved one. These urns float and dissolve within four hours of being placed in the water. All urns are handcrafted, and because they are made of natural materials, each one is unique in color and finish. Photo Credit: Passages International

4. All-Natural - Interring a body in a green cemetery is perhaps the most eco-friendly option available. People who choose this method are not embalmed (or if they are, it is with a natural, formaldehyde-free fluid). Their bodies are either wrapped in a shroud or placed in a biodegradable casket made of wood or other sustainable materials, such as willow, seagrass or bamboo. Photo Credit: Passages International

5. Water Works - An environmentally-friendly alternative to flame-based cremation, alkaline hydrolysis is a water-based process that is gaining popularity in the states that allow it. The process uses water and potassium hydroxide to reduce the body to its basic element of bone ash, which is then returned to the family much like cremated remains following cremation.

6. Rebuilding Reefs - More than just an everlasting memorial, these reef domes help rebuild damaged and dying coral reefs around the world. Cremated remains are incorporated into an environmentally-safe cement mixture to create an artificial reef formation. Reef domes can be personalized during the casting process.

7. Sprout a New Life - The Infinity Burial Suit is embroidered with thread infused with mushroom spores. These spores sprout after burial and aid with decomposition by actively breaking down and expelling toxins from the soil. They are also available in pod form for animals.

8. Gently Down the Stream - Representing good health and a long life, these paper mache turtle urns hold cremated remains. The urns are designed to float in water until they break down, gently scattering a loved one's cremated remains in the water. Best of all, the turtle urns are constructed by hand of recycled paper and non-toxic glues, giving them a one-of-a-kind appearance. Photo Credit: Passages International

9. Up, Up and Away - Avoid the burial process completely and set your loved one's cremated remains adrift in the stratosphere. Cremated remains are sent up into the air in high-altitude balloons and released. Eventually, the remains will return slowly to earth in the form of snow or rain. Photo Credit: Mesoloft

10. Fit for a Queen (or King) - Whether or not you are royalty, wool coffins are a way to go out in style. Choose a coffin crafted from the same 100-percent British wool that British royalty and military have worn for more than 230 years. Photo Credit: Natural Legacy
