Building Bluestem
|
We are inspired by your many messages and the new relationships that are growing within this important community space in Cedar Grove, open every day.
"Green burial directly acknowledges that we die and our bodies decay... my body nourishing the earth and its creatures just makes sense. It's also a form of justice, as that same earth and those same creatures have nourished me, in one way or another, all my life." - Jerry
