Green Burials

Chuck Lakin, an experienced speaker on natural end-of-life alternatives, will describe options for a “green burial,” rethinking some of the assumptions about funerals. You and your family can save a considerable amount of damage to the environment and save money by opting for a green burial. Maine has very flexible laws with regard to burial. Unlike in some states, you do not have to buy a casket from the funeral home that serves you, a vault or grave liner is not required by law, you do not need to be embalmed or cremated and embalming is not necessary to protect public health. Come hear Chuck and learn about how Green Burials can help our environment.
