Environmental photo of Trish Penner at Kilcona Park for story.

Story: Green Cemetery, also called a natural burial, a green burial is when a body is placed three to four feet into the earth, un-embalmed. Covered in a shroud or place in a biodegradable container, the body decomposes naturally, without leaving much of a carbon footprint or using up too many fossil fuels.

NOTE: Penner has yet to purchase a plot of land, is currently testing soil etc… this park is near her home and used for photo only.
