Microbe-Based Green Funeral Practices: Dying to Go Green

Abstract
Abstract
For ages, a widespread method of human remains disposal has been done using traditional coffins. These coffins crafted from wood and metals, are buried approximately six feet underground within concrete plots. Research indicates that during decomposition, the harmful greenhouse gases such as methane, as well as hazardous metals and pathogens, can seep from the remains, causing considerable environmental harm. Consequently, there is's a mounting call to move away from these traditional burial practices toward greener alternatives like biodegradable mushroom coffins, organic capsules, capsula mundi, and microbial composting. These processes could be employed as next generation method to reduce carbon footprints. In the present article authors have presented a very topical issue that is difficult to solve and underestimated in countries with large population density like China, India, Brazil, etc. during the situation of epidemics and pandemics like Covid COVID-19-19. The Aauthors have endeavored to encompass all the essential information regarding eco-friendly approaches for disposing animal carcasses, and converting barren graveyards into green fields using organic agricultural practices. Generating multifaceted bioformulations with both biofertilizer + and biopesticidal properties from the remains of animal carcasses could serve as a natural way to increase crop production in barren graveyards, thereby addressing the issue of space constraints in a sustainable manner by 2050.

Key words: Keywords: Biopesticide, Biofertilizer, Microbial Composting, Capsula Mundi, Mushroom coffins, Plant growth promotion.
