Abstract

Taiwan's total population in 2023 will be 23.42 million, 442, with only 135,571 newborns and 205,368 deaths throughout the year. The population has begun to grow negatively since 2020. When the birth rate continues to be lower than the death rate, it means that the business crisis of the funeral industry has emerged. The funeral industry is a highly polluting industry. Taiwan has been promoting environmentally friendly natural burials since 2001. However, the processing of ashes is the final stage of body processing. The real major pollution is during the funeral period and the cremation of the body. Correcting these two Process can truly achieve the purpose of reducing pollution and protecting the environment. If environmentally friendly natural burials are fully popularized, funeral expenses will be greatly reduced, which will impact the overall income of the funeral industry. Therefore, how to balance environmental protection and sustainable management of the funeral industry is an issue that cannot be ignored. This study hopes to provide suggestions on the correlation between environmentally friendly natural burial and the sustainable development of the funeral industry, and to achieve the common development of environmentally friendly natural burial and the funeral industry, thereby achieving the goals of environmental friendliness and sustainable development. JEL classification numbers: Q56.
