Dressed in jeans, Croc flip-flops, his favorite T-shirt and a hooded sweatshirt, Justin Borek was buried just like he lived.
“Justin was not about the pomp and circumstance of life and that is why he wanted a green burial,” said his stepmother, Jennifer Borek of Hernando. “It was simple and peaceful just like Justin.”
Green burial can mean either cremation or a burial with no embalming, placing the deceased in a biodegradable wooden box or a shroud. No casket or vault are used.
It is an alternative to traditional funerals that is gaining in popularity. Worldwide, many are choosing green burials as more personal and environmentally friendly goodbyes.
