Personal account of a Green Burial

I found this in the Georgia Bulletin, the newspaper of the Catholic Archdioces of Atlanta, which I found pretty progressive.

“You don’t feel down. You don’t. It’s just different and it’s good,” said Gloria, 79, who retired after working at St. Pius X High School for 31 years.

Honey Creek Woodlands, about a mile off Highway 212, opened in the spring. The parcel of woodlands and pasture sits surrounded by some 2,000 protected acres owned by the Monastery of the Holy Spirit. It is a cemetery ground for people who want to be environmentally conscious when they die, and it preserves open land too. The cemetery is available to anyone who desires this style of burial.
