Winter Burial
Burials in winter will take extra time to remove snow, thaw through the frost layer, and dig. An additional $200 will be charged. We will make every effort to open the grave as quickly as possible, but there may be an extra day or two before burial is possible. Weather conditions will also dictate when and where burials can occur.
Charitable Giving
We welcome tax-deductible donations by those able to pay more so we can keep those funds in reserve for those who are not able to pay as much, for infants and children, guardian recipients/wards, and veteran burials where the VA benefit does not cover the full cost. Discounted rates will be awarded depending on charitable giving fund availability.
Conservation Fund
A substantial portion of the burial right price will be held in reserve to go toward conservation and restoration efforts on the property, further land acquisitions, and conservation easement funds.
About Cremated Remains Burial
Burial of cremated remains includes the use of a wool shroud and/or treatment with an enzyme product. Cremated remains are not harmless ashes; they are comprised of calcium phosphate and sodium that is 2,000 (at first) to 200 times (after 3 years) too alkaline to support plant root growth after undergoing a high energy output process that emits mercury and other particulates into the air and water. We accept cremated remains primarily as a courtesy to natural burial families. Human cremated remains will be treated with a special enzyme product and buried in a wool shroud that we provide.
About Pet Burial
Many people regard pets as members of their family and wish to have their remains buried with them at the time of the full body burial. We will accept pet cremated remains, either as a second right of interment with a full human body burial, or on their own in a designated pet burial area. Pet remains will require a special enzyme product and will be buried in a small wool shroud that we provide.
