There is a growing movement to return to natural burials. They can include using biodegradable materials that help the body return to the earth naturally.

Join the Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County at the Wilton Quaker Meeting House on Monday, July 8th at 7 PM. This program features a panel who will inform and discuss the options and obstacles for having an environmentally friendly burial. For example, there are only a few cemeteries in CT that can accommodate a green burial.

Panel includes: Congressman Keith Denning, one of the co-sponsors for terramation in CT, Rebecca Lautenslager of Shaughnessey Banks Funeral Home, and Pam Brown from Hillside Cemetery in Wilton, a hybrid cemetery.

This meeting is free and open to all. You must Register to Attend.
