Answer 1

I cant answer Cali's. law on that but I just learned of "Green Cemeteries" there in San Fran Sis co. Beautiful thing.

Answer 2

No. By California law you do not have to be embalmed. It is done as a matter of standard practice by funeral homes. There are very few cemeteries that will allow burial of an unembalmed person. And fewer will allow you to be buried without a coffin and a vault. There is a cemetery near San Francisco area that has set aside an area that will allow you to be buried unembalmed, and without a casket or even a grave marker if you so wish.
