Item Description

Up for bid is one Natural Burial Plot in The Meadow Natural Burial Ground at Greenacres Memorial Park.

The Meadow Natural Burial Ground is certified by The Green Burial Council and allows families the option to lay loved ones to rest in a serene and natural environment. Natural Burial, commonly referred to as "Green Burial"; takes place without toxic embalming. Everything placed in the ground in The Meadow is non-toxic and biodegradable, allowing it to return naturally to the earth. In addition, each burial contributes to the ongoing restoration of The Meadow as a thriving, native ecosystem. As part of the restoration efforts, each family can have a native tree, shrub, flowers, and groundcover planted in the memory of their loved one. These grounds are kept as a natural area. Maintenance is minimal and does not involve irrigation, fertilizers, regular mowing or pruning. In addition, integrated pest management is used to manage invasive species.  

 

Item Special Note

There are additional required costs that can be taken care of at anytime in the future.

The winning bidder can call Greenacres at (360)384-3401 and ask for Brian Flowers.
