Greening The Grave: Why More People Are Choosing Climate-Friendly Burials

Mishy Lesser stands at the green burial site of her mother, Nettie Lesser. (Robin Lubbock/WBUR) Nettie Lesser s grave is tucked in the back of Mount Auburn Cemetery in a quiet area surrounded by trees and birds and a carpet of purple flowers starting to bloom. The plot blends into the scene around it, the only marker a small plaque the size of a hockey puck; you wouldn t know it was a grave unless you were looking for it. “She loved Mount Auburn, loved visiting here,” says Mishy Lesser, Nettie s daughter. “We loved the beech trees, and the cedars, and the wall and the placement of the graves.”

Kennebec Land Trust develops a conservation cemetery in Fayette

The top of Baldwin Hill in Fayette looks like hundreds, probably thousands, of similar hills across Maine. Ancient stone walls crisscross through second-growth stands of trees, the thick forest beneath tall pines is littered with blowdowns and a carpet of dead leaves.  A new gravel road that winds for nearly half a mile up the hill from Fayette Corner Road and a parking area and gravel path that winds around a grove of pines at the summit are the only signs anything is going on there. A clearcut at the edge of the summit offers a view of hills and farms to the east.
