The deceased completely merge into nature
逝者完全融入自然 Shìzhě wánquán róngrù zìrán
Yesterday afternoon, at the Yong'an public cemetery (Tianjin), a number of people were gathered, and with soothing music in the background, one hundred deceased were buried, completely free of charge, in an environmentally-sound burial ceremony. According to reports, since March 2010, when the free burial area opened, about 1100 deceased have been buried. "This kind of burial protects the environment and conserves land, but also is a challenge to people's traditional concepts." Zhang Xin, deputy director of China's Funeral and Burial Association, said that people need to accept and participate in "green burials," so the Association has to show its benefits, and that it is a better choice.
A "green" casket will completely decompose in three months.
昨天上午，永安公墓内人头攒动，舒缓的音乐中，百名逝者落葬全免费环保墓区仪式正式举行。据了解，2010年3月开辟全免费墓区以来，截至目前，有1100位逝者落葬。“这种殡葬方式既环保又节省土地，但也较大地挑战了人们的传统观念。”中国殡葬协会公墓工作委员会副主任张昕表示，绿色殡葬需要市民的认可和参与，更需要殡葬从业人员提供有益的、更多方式的选择。
环保骨灰盒仨月就降解。
