Winter 2022 - Industry Spotlight
Colorado Burial Preserve is the state’s first dedicated green cemetery!
NATURAL BURIAL
Burying our dead is a simple act as old as human culture. A suitable place is chosen, the earth is removed, and a body is laid to rest. Many of us take comfort in the idea of our remains returning to the earth and rejoining the cycles of nature one day. Today, more and more eco-conscious Coloradans are considering this natural option as a meaningful way to give something back to the earth.
