For over three years now, Houghton County has had the only two providers of green burial options on the Keweenaw Peninsula: Chassell Township (in Chassell) and Portage Township (Forest Hill Cemetery next to MTU’s Student Development Complex).
Now Keweenaw County has its first official green burial provider: Houghton Township (Eagle River). Township officials have recently established “natural burial” options for their Evergreen Cemetery, which is located about a mile south of Eagle River on M26. They have designated several rows of the cemetery exclusively for burials that use only natural, bio-degradable materials. For contact information and links to township websites for all three cemeteries that offer green burial options, please visit our cemeteries web page at www.kgba.weebly.com/local-cemeteries
