How To Go Out Green

The general structure:

• Early planning is always better but things can be figured out quickly when needed too.

• Contact Lotus and Lavender Burial, take a tour, get a sense of the general area you’d like to be on the property, sign paperwork and purchase the burial rights, and decide on a burial container and grave marker.

• Ideally between this time and “the time”, you’ll return to Lotus and Lavender Burial, enjoy the natural space, maybe help maintain some trails, feel a connection to the earth that you’ll return to. Some people like to spend time with other loved ones at their green burial cemetery to have nice memories there together.

• When the time comes, we’ll coordinate either our funeral home collaborators or a funeral home of your choice to complete paperwork, utilize their refrigeration capabilities, and transport the body to our property.

• We’ll work with you to design the burial service you desire, working with individuals you choose and/or offering the collaborators we know. This will happen all four seasons.

• Live flowers will be available for the burial ceremony, as well as dried flowers when live aren’t actively growing.

• We hope to have a space on the property to host memorials and have collaborators in mind to cater the gatherings.

• Now your loved ones can return to mourn, remember and appreciate this swirl of life, death and nature.
