Our Bodies Are Designed to Return to the Earth Join our Zoom to learn what a Conservation Cemetery is… permanently protected natural land where burials restore habitat. We'll take a deep dive into how a conservation cemetery differs from modern burial practices, and how it compares to green burial. Here in California, we’re a community that thrives outdoors! From beaches to deserts to mountains, yet when it comes to our final rest, our options are far removed from the natural rhythms that reflect our lifestyle. Modern burial practices - concrete vaults, metal caskets, and toxic embalming chemicals - lock our bodies away from the very process we were designed for: to decompose naturally and nourish the earth. Instead of restoring the land, these practices harm it. It doesn’t have to be this way. A Conservation Cemetery is more than green burial. It’s a way of restoring land, protecting wildlife, and ensuring our final act on earth is one of renewal, not depletion. Join us for this community gathering to: Learn how conservation cemeteries differ from standard and green cemeteries. Explore how our end-of-life choices can heal the planet. Be part of the growing movement urging California lawmakers to cut the red tape and make these options available here at home. Let's be honest... there isn't a lot of transparency within our current funeral industry, we want to change that! Join us for real conversation about our common burial practices and gain an understanding about how harmful they are not only to our bodies, but to the planet - and learn about greener options that may impact your end-of-life decision making.
