Why Your "Green Burial" Is a Lie

The death positive movement started as a revolutionary push to reclaim grief from a commercialised industry. But somewhere along the way, it developed a purity problem. Today, a new wing of the movement has turned natural burial and human composting into a performance review for grief - implying that if you aren't dying with a specific aesthetic, you’re doing it wrong. Today, we look at how a genuinely important cause became a toxic identity. We break down the difference between real advocacy - like local policy change - and insufferable moral ranking. We also highlight the billions of people across Indigenous, Muslim, Hindu, and Jewish traditions who have been practicing simple, natural burials for centuries without needing to make it an Instagram personality trait.
