Please join us for this informative talk on Green burial alternatives.
An Introduction to Green Burial and an update on recent developments by Jean Matlack of Midcoast Maine Green Burial.
Did you realize what a large carbon footprint conventional burial practices have.? Come and learn about green burial, the green alternative. Green burial sequesters CO2 and our bodies nourish the earth. This is the traditional way people were buried before the Civil War and embalming was invented. Bring all your questions.
