Heather Nuin Center Manager THIS WEEK: Thursday, May 1, 6:30 - 8 PM The Whats, Whys and Hows of Green Burial with Pete McQuillin, Manager of Penn Forest Natural Burial Park FREE Green Burial (also called natural burial) is a way of caring for the dead with minimal environmental impact. Its main requirements are that caskets or burial shrouds must be biodegradeable, toxic embalming fluids are prohibited, and burial vaults are not used. Grave markers, if desired, are made from local stone or wood and placed flat to the ground. Website: www.penforestcemetery.com JUST ANNOUNCED!
