How we care for our dead has a tangible impact on the earth. From industrial body care outsourcing to concrete vaults to flame cremation, we have distanced ourselves from processes that are having an impact on our culture and environment in significant ways. Join us as we explore the principles of sustainable funeral options that seek to promote climate resiliency, address funeral poverty, and create community.
