Fort Collins Colorado - City Council gives green light to green cemetery

Fort Collins' city council (Colorado) has given the green light to the designation of a green burial portion of an established cemetery. This marks the end of much deliberation by Fort Collins council members on how to provide an option that more and more funeral consumers are requesting for their loved-one's at death.

City cemetery manager, Phil Carpenter attended last year's Green Burial Conference hosted by non-profit educational support group, Natural Transitions. This year, Natural Transitions is hosting a broad-based conference bringing together the leading names in home funeral education in the US, including Beth Knox of Crossings, Maryland - and Char Barrett of A Sacred Moment, Seattle. You can read more and register for the October 3 conference at the Natural Transitions' website www.naturaltransitions.org - on the Conference 09 page.
