Keweenaw Green Burial Alliance
CHASSELL — The Chassell Township Cemetery has added more than two dozen new plots dedicated to green burial, the Keweenaw Green Burial Alliance (KGBA) has announced.
Five years ago, the cemetery created approximately 40 green grave sites in a secluded, forested area, a response to local interest in this traditional form of burial.
“Chassell Township has done an excellent job of creating burial areas that appeal to people’s sense of what is natural,” said Stephen Jukuri, president of the KGBA. “They have worked closely with our Alliance from the very start, and they sold out their original space quite fast.”
