Where do I find a green burial ground?

Many church and family graveyards are green by intent. Some are partly green. If a burial ground is advertised as green, look for compliance with the standards established by the Green Burial Council, the only certifying organization in the U.S. for green burial grounds, funeral homes, and products.

"To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go."
