Traditional and conventional
Inexpensive and low-cost
Ecologically friendly
Luxurious and high-end

The correct answer is: Ecologically friendly

In the context of funeral services, the term "green" specifically refers to ecologically friendly practices and options. This encompasses environmentally sustainable methods of burial and cremation, as well as the use of biodegradable materials, natural resources, and design approaches that minimize ecological impact. Green funerals often include elements such as using sustainably sourced wood for caskets, avoiding embalming chemicals that are harmful to the environment, and opting for natural burial sites that do not require extensive landscaping or preparation. This movement responds to a growing awareness of environmental issues and reflects a shift towards more sustainable practices in many areas, including death care. By choosing to define "green" in this way, the focus is on promoting an eco-conscious approach that aligns with broader societal values regarding sustainability and conservation.
