Natural Burial is a statement of personal values; it is a sustainable and spiritually fulfilling solution for people seeking to leave a legacy of care and respect for our planet.

A Natural Burial Ground, also known as a green cemetery, an eco-cemetery, memorial nature preserve, or a woodland burial ground, is a place where the body is returned to nature. Native vegetation (often a memorial tree) is planted over or near the grave in place of a conventional cemetery monument. The resulting naturalspace establishes a living memorial and forms a protected wildlife preserve.

Natural burial promotes the use of biodegradable burial products such as simple wooden caskets, handmade caskets including wicker caskets or burial shrouds. Natural burial offers an environmentally sensitive burial alternative.

Forest of Memories promotes and supports the development of natural burial across North America.
