Do you allow Green Burial?

Yes! We allow green burial in any grave on the grounds. There is no green section. Green burials must be dug single depth per plot. Double depth is generally not available.

Green burial typically consists of natural body preparation (no embalming) and utilizes caskets or shrouds of natural materials and no grave liner or vault.
