Services Offered
I offer family directed graveside burial services. I am here for you to the degree you need me. For a simple consultation, a home funeral with or without a vigil, celebration of life, or a direct burial. Lets talk about what you have in mind. Please check out my basic services and feel free to reach out.
Green Burial Presentations
One of the things I love to do is offer presentations to our communities either live or on Zoom about green burial. In these presentations I go into the history of our American burial practices, how the modern funeral industry developed and then into the exciting and new eco friendly options such as human composting, water cremation, and natural or green burial. I offer informative presentations for families, friends, classrooms or community groups including pictures or slides. I also like to bring along free Green Burial Planners to give away so everyone can take a look and go over the burial options they would like for themselves.
