If you are considering having a natural burial for yourself or a loved one and would like to better understand locally accessible options for doing so, this presentation is for you. Join us on October 10th for a casual discussion of burial options available to you, from conventional to green burial. We will explore ways to make burial care more environmentally friendly such as choosing biodegradable burial vessels, sustainable farewell flower arrangements, and local green cemeteries. You’ll leave knowing more about local resources to consider when creating a personalized natural burial care plan. There will be a willow woven burial tray at the presentation for you to see up close, as well as tea and snacks to share in.
Together, we will explore:
The various legal and affordable burial care options available, from conventional through natural burial
How to include local and sustainable practices into your burial arrangements such as natural caskets and shrouds, home funerals, and biodegradable floral arrangements
What resources are available locally to support you to create a burial care plan of your own choosing and design
