Going Out Green

Date: Sunday, April 21, 2024
Time: 4:00 pm

Learn about the emerging movement to change the way we do death in America. With so much in the news about ‘green’ options, including human composting, wet cremation, forest ash scattering, and green burial, it’s not easy to parse the truth. In this informative and provocative presentation, we’ll discuss the principles of sustainable after-death options, reveal some of the hidden environmental costs and benefits of ’boutique’ disposition methods and products, and learn what we can do to plan for a truly planet-friendly ending that is affordable and meaningful for all.

Your guide to this presentation and discussion is Lee Webster, nationally recognized public speaker on funeral reform, including home funerals and green burial. She is the director of New Hampshire Funeral Resources & Education and co-creator of the Funeral.org Partnership, and has served in major leadership positions of the Green Burial Council, Conservation Burial Alliance, National Home Funeral Alliance, National End-of-Life Doula Alliance.
