Key Points

  • As a church, we want to be involved in all aspects of life from birth to death, which led us to offer natural burial as a way to care for our people as they grieve.
  • Our volunteers help dig graves at the natural burial land, provide flowers for services, construct affordable pine caskets, and more.
  • Natural burial includes the option for a family to lower the casket into the ground or begin covering the casket with dirt, which can serve as forms of catharsis for those who are grieving.
