Posted on July 3, 2019
Monday July 8, 6:00 p.m., “Death-positive” movies. Two short films, with discussion if desired, 6-8 p.m. on July 8 in the Welcome Hall. Is there a time when expending resources on care is wise, and others when it’s wasteful and even hurtful? Watch “What Really Matters at the End of Life” (19 min) and “Extremis” (24 min).

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
We are going to be showing some green burial/home funeral films, on our Monday night death-positive film series, most likely they’ll be August and/or September. Second Mondays of the month. 6 pm
The Davis Cemetery in Davis, CA, allows green burials. You may use a burial shroud or wicker basket. I arranged a green burial for my son a couple of years ago. He was buried in a shroud at the Davis Cemetery. The staff there is wonderful and very helpful.
All states allow families to hold home funerals and California does have some “green burial ” locations where they don’t use/allow embalming or caskets, etc. The best place to get more information on specific locations would be the Green Burial Council: http://www.greenburialcouncil.org/
Is there any local area cemetery accepting bodies for shroud or wicker basket burial? I saw online that it is acceptable in other areas of the U.S. Because common practices and cremation is not good for the environment, I want to leave a better contribution to the planet than just ashes.
