Conservation Burial is for EVERYONE.

The aim of green burial is to care for the dead with minimal environmental impact. This is achieved through burial without impediment. That means; no embalming, no liners or vaults, and using biodegradable containers. This type of burial reduces carbon emissions, restores and/or preserves habitat through sustainable land management practices, and eliminates of the use of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers. Your death actually gives nourishment back to the local biome!

The family’s experience during an incredibly difficult time of loss, matters. Having options available that are in alignment with ethics, finances, and other personal preferences can help ease some of the discomfort that comes with planning a funeral and end of life care. Green burial can provide an extremely rich experience for families and a beautiful natural preserve for the community to use as a place of remembrance, meditation, fresh air, peace, exercise, and communion with nature. Here, we welcome all people and traditions with radical acceptance.

Funeral professionals are as essential to green burial practices as they are to “standard” funeral practices. Consumers want options and we seek to partner with funeral homes to usher in an new era of disposition alternatives, innovations in funeral service, and adaptations funeral professionals can make to meet the changing environmental and cultural expectations of the families they serve. Green burial also helps to eliminate the correlated health risks embalmers have historically faced during the course of preparing and preserving the deceased.
