Conversely, natural and eco-friendly burials often transpire within wooded areas or flower-filled meadows, frequently within grounds earmarked for future nature reserves. Graves in these settings often lack prominent markers, opting instead for modest biodegradable indicators like wooden plaques, if any at all.
