Green Burial
With Michael Judd
Are you curious about Home Funeral and Green Burial practices/options in Maryland? Join Michael Judd as he invites you to consider choices for end-of-life care, home funeral, home burial, and green burial practices. Michael will share information, resources, and personal experiences as he honors the wise traditions of natural burial and the relevance of these choices for us today. Talk and tour at the Morris Orchard, Frederick county’s first natural burial site which is centered in a chestnut orchard, so there will be an open fire and roasted chestnuts!
