How natural interment preserves the land for future generations.
How we care for our bodies at the time of passing is our final choice here on earth.
Green burial is a way of caring for our departed loved ones while also caring for the natural world. A green burial uses non-toxic and biodegradable materials and avoids use of chemicals or materials that may harm the surrounding environment. These methods conserve natural resources, reduce carbon emissions, protect public health, and restore habitat.
Burials in the conservation cemetery are prepared in accordance with the Green Burial Council natural methods for body preparation and interment, allowing all who are laid to rest to be surrounded by life as they return peacefully to the earth.
Green burials appeal to many for their simplicity, affordability, focus on family involvement, and connection to nature. Conservation burial goes a step further in protecting a large tract of natural land as well as interring remains in large plots that prevent disturbance to the surrounding plants and wildlife.
In choosing conservation burial, you are joining a community in protecting a nature preserve that will be here for future generations.
Many Americans who had formerly considered cremation are now choosing green burial. Green burials avoid the use of fossil fuels and the release of greenhouse gases and toxins that are inherent in traditional cremation. A green burial allows one’s body to return naturally to the earth.
For those who have chosen cremation, cremated remains (“ashes”) may be interred in the conservation cemetery as well. In addition to providing a final resting place for the remains, this will provide a lasting, positive impact by helping to protect natural lands forever.
