Event Details
You may have heard terms like "green burial, "natural burial," and similar floating around. For Earth Day, we're welcoming special guests Carrie Chastain (founder and co-owner of Weathers Funeral Home in Salem, Indiana) and Michael and Stacy Watson (from The Wooden Casket in Tompkinsville, Kentucky) as they discuss exactly what these are and how earth-conscious funerary practices are reemerging across the country.
If you have questions about natural burial sites, laws, your funerary rights, eco-friendly caskets and burial processes, or anything related to these, come and get some answers at our panel!
