Green Burial Information Session

Tuesday, May 145:30—6:30 PMAuditorium Brewster Ladies' Library1822 Main Street, Brewster, MA, 02631

Green burial is an ecologically friendly way of returning bodies to the earth after death. A green or natural burial uses no embalming, no metal casket, and no burial liner or vault. Because only biodegradable materials are used, in green burial a human body and its burial container enrich the soil. While many cemeteries do not yet allow green burial, green burials are allowed in Area C of Brewster Memorial Cemetery. Join Sophia Sayigh, a Brewster Cemetery Commissioner and a volunteer board member of Green Burial Massachusetts for a presentation about green burial followed by time for questions and answers.
