Portland, where we compete with our neighbors to see who has the largest number of recycling bins at the curb each week, is also home to the National Burial Company, an eco-friendly company that sells paper caskets, biodegradable shrouds, urns, and other "natural burial products."
NBC (surely the broadcasting people are thrilled with this coincidence of acronym) wisely chose the green-friendly Portland for its U.S. location. I learned of the company and its promotion of green burials and cremations on Jack Bog's Blog and The New York Times has also now weighed in on this dust-to-dust company.
