Green Burial
at Morris Orchard: Talk, Tour & Roasted Chestnuts
Making plans for the end of life can be an emotional topic with many factors to consider. While traditional casket burials or cremation are familiar choices, there is now a more sustainable option available in Frederick County called green or natural burial.
The event will take place at Morris Orchard Natural Burial, Frederick County’s first natural burial site, nestled within a chestnut orchard. Following the talk, guests will have the opportunity to tour the property, gather around an open fire, and enjoy freshly roasted chestnuts.
Bring your questions and concerns.
There will be plenty of time for discussion. All are welcome.
