The podcast transcript is a conversation between two women discussing the different funeral and burial options available today. The conversation is led by Alycia Martel, an end-of-life specialist, def doula, caregiver, coach, and podcast host. They discuss how traditional funerals involve embalming fluid and chemicals leaching into the ground. The alternative funeral options they discuss include home funerals, where the deceased's loved ones are in charge of the entire funeral process, and green burials, where the body is buried without embalming and in a biodegradable casket. Cremation is also discussed as a popular and more environmentally and fiscally responsible form of taking care of loved ones after death. The conversation ends with a discussion about the history of home burials and how they are making a comeback.
