Green Burial

Green Burial

Caring for the dead without the use of toxins and materials that are not biodegradable — has been receiving much attention lately, though it’s hardly a new phenomenon. Returning to the earth in little more than a shroud is what most of humanity has done for thousands of years until the advent of the modern "deathcare" industry. In a typical green cemetery, burial density is normally one-tenth of that of a conventional cemetery.

Our funeral homes are just a short drive from Ohio's only green cemetery, Foxfield Preserve at The Wilderness Center in Wilmot.
