Formaldehyde: In Life & After Death

Being Formaldehyde-free In Life and After Death

Sustaining the Eco-system now and after death: how is that possible? Through the use of Environmentally friendly coffins, burial, and least to overlook, chemical void practices preparing and storing the body are steps in this Green Process.

Whether the final destination for the body will take place on selected preserve land, specifically designated for renewal of earth, flora, and fauna; cremation, the spreading of ashes; or Ocean/Sea burial… choices abound over concrete, steel, and the seeping of chemicals into our soil and waterways.

Formaldehyde is the primary chemical used in conventional, Western/European style mortuaries and burials as an embalming fluid, placed into the drained veins where blood once flowed. Yet, little is mentioned to the public of this strangely spelled substance? Formaldehyde is an active, carcinogenic, nearly colorless, compound. This gas is in the top 25 most produced chemicals of the world.

Found as a preventative in storing grains (including oats and wheat), insecticide on crops, in the textile (cloth/clothing) trade, in pharmaceuticals (government-based prescriptions/medications), used in the rubber and plastic industry, freely airborne in plywood, laminate flooring, and located in the foam insulation in your attics and walls of home and office buildings; beware of this chemical!

Danger Signs of Formaldehyde Poisoning:

• Nose Bleeds
• Watery Eyes
• Asthma Attack/Difficulty Breathing/Wheezing
• Burning sensation in eyes, nose, or throat
• Skin Rash
• Unknown Fatigue
• Vertigo
  
  

Unproven and so-called tested methods are available, with some research, for removing Formaldehyde in the home and workplace. One such “remedy” includes lemon juice, ammonia, and enclosing the toxic space for 3 days (having removed all living human, plant, and animal occupants prior).

If contact has occurred to a body, shower or at least change all clothing as soon as possible and consume (preferably fresh) Lime juice as an antagonist, in an area where fresh air is readily available.

Green After Death?

Imagine “Eden”! Eden surely isn’t George Orwell’s “1984” or the 1927 movie “Metropolis”! Eden would be more like Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr. in “What Dreams May Come”. Or, perhaps heaven is similar to the experience of Father Time, of the 1940’s movie, The Blue Bird staring Shirley Temple.

However the Afterworld comes to us, Death should be encountered with love, just as birth is rejoiced. All creatures perish and all plants have a lifecycle. Life is as seasons are a component of every year. What could be more calming and enriching to the lives of our loved ones still alive, on earth, as being a part of Nature? That’s what GREEN FURNERALS and BURIALS try to capture.


Green Burials are about leaving only love, without making a negative impact on our community, wildlife, financial status, and world. How is there balance between grace and dignity combined with ecology and renewal? More information and care providers, on Green After Death Services, to follow.
