Natural Burial: Connecting People with Land from Cradle to Grave
Crow's Nest Preserve 201 Piersol Road, Elverson, PA, United StatesNatural (or green) burial is not a new concept. As many know, it involves the burial of an unembalmed body, directly into the soil without a concrete vault, and in an entirely biodegradable casket or shroud. What is new with this concept is that many of these “green cemeteries” are essentially nature preserves – nature preserves that just so happen to allow for these limited impact burials on the land.
