In this episode I share research and data that I've been gathering, which shows that large numbers of death planners care about having more eco-conscious and green options in death care. We look at studies from Kates Boylston Publications, IBM Institute for Business Value, Passare, and Choice Mutual Insurance that break down what death planners care about, how they make choices, and what they will look for in the future. Spoiler alert: the demand for eco-conscious death care options is only going to grow! I also introduce a huge research project I undertook in 2022 called The Real Eco-Impact of Disposition Methods that reveals the total carbon footprint of the top five most common body disposition methods in the US today, as well as how to make the most harmful ones more environmentally friendly. I'll be releasing that research on this podcast in a series over the next few weeks.
