Tuesday, May 7 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Portage Lake District Library, Houghton Free and open to the public Pre-registration is appreciated and will guarantee you a seat; you can just reply to this email. While we can understand some reluctance to contemplate “the inevitable,” planning ahead for green burial is very important because it is so new in our area (only three green burials thus far!). And green burial does present families with a very different set of choices in funeral planning than cremation or conventional burial, including some considerations that should be talked through well ahead of time. This will be an active workshop where you can learn what kinds of trade-offs you should be weighing when considering green burial and discuss with others the relative merits of the choices that green burial provides. Afterward, you should feel prepared to extend these conversations to your own family and friends, and be ready to find and work with a funeral director to develop green burial plans that satisfy both your own desires and the needs of the other people in your life. Or, if you prefer not to think of it as planning your own green burial, just tell yourself that you are coming to help plan one for somebody else! Prior registration is appreciated to help us plan and to guarantee you a seat (we can only accommodate a certain number of participants). You can register by replying to this email, calling 487-5411, or filling out our contact form at https://kgba.weebly.com/contact-us.html.
