Case for Natural Burial
When Jay Moskowitz, one-of-a-kind educator and artist of Plymouth, NH, found himself with time running out, he was clear about what he wanted to happen to his body but unclear how to make it happen. It’s a decision we all face, but have little intel about how to go about making it. In this presentation, we’ll explore how to make informed, environmentally sound funeral choices that run the gamut from home and blended professional funeral care to cremation and burial options that we can actually access. And we’ll catch up on the growing choices we have available as we look to expanding options that are affordable, eco-friendly, and meaningful for all.
