How green are green burials?
Knowing that your body is contributing to the growth of a tree or the richness of soil is increasingly attractive. But the healthier climate claims made by some companies offering new technologies, or green alternatives, are largely unverified. Guest: Hannah Gould, Senior lecturer in Buddhist Studies at the the University of Melbourne, where she also works with the Death Tech Research Team and author of an article in the online magazine AEON, about greenwashing burial, titled ‘How to become a tree’. Producer: Ann Arnold
