A cemetery is a place in which the dead or their cremated remains are buried.

Traditional Cemeteries are cemeteries where people are buried in caskets and the caskets are placed in a burial vault or a grave liner. Traditional cemeteries have grave markers indicating where people are buried. 

Green Cemeteries are cemeteries dedicated to green burial.  These cemeteries do not allow embalmed bodies or burial vaults. All caskets must be biodegradable. Other restrictions on grave markers and native plants are being discussed. The Green Burial Council now has a list of "approved providers" who will facilitate green burial within traditional cemeteries in eight states.
