Green in death care refers to which concept?

• A. A natural, eco-friendly approach to death care that utilizes products, services and merchandise that are free of toxic/hazardous materials, are biodegradable or that minimize use of energy.
• B. A color used in floral arrangements.
• C. A lighting scheme used to create a green ambience.
• D. A regulatory standard for embalming.

Answer: (A)

Green in death care means taking an environmentally friendly approach to funerary practices, prioritizing products and services that are non-toxic, biodegradable, or energy-efficient. This reflects a goal to reduce the ecological footprint of funerals by using biodegradable caskets or urns, choosing non-toxic or less harmful embalming methods when possible, and running facilities in a way that conserves resources. It’s about sustainability, not about floral color, lighting schemes, or a regulatory standard for embalming.
