AN ACT CONCERNING GREEN BURIALS.

SB 473 requires all burial services in the state to use only biodegradable materials and minimize environmental impact, directly affecting funeral homes, cemeteries, and families choosing burial options. The bill amends general statutes to establish these standards for green burials, replacing current practices that may use non-biodegradable materials like metal caskets or concrete vaults. It focuses solely on setting clear, measurable requirements for burial methods without additional funding or enforcement mechanisms.
