With only thirteen conservation burial grounds or cemeteries in the country, Bluestem is part of a unique community of conservation burial practitioners working to bring awareness to the spiritual and ecological benefits of conservation burial. We are called the Conservation Burial Alliance. We encourage you to visit  our colleagues in other parts of the country. You can find more information about them here.
