Green Burial

Jordan Jordan December 4, 2014 2 Comments

www_bridgings_org_images_Flyers_WillForTheWoodsFlyer_color_pdfWhere do you go when you die? I mean, yes, in the ground, but what happens there? Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies tackles this unusual question tomorrow night, Friday, Dec 3:

…WHAT IF OUR LAST ACT COULD BE A GIFT TO THE PLANET?

A fascinating film and discussion about Green Burials. 

Friday, December 5, 2014, 7:00 PM
Meaningful Movies in Wallingford presents the film: “A WILL FOR THE WOODS”
with Kathy Long, Executive Director of the People’s Memorial Association.

What IF our last act really was a gift to the planet? Capturing the genesis of a revolutionary social and environmental movement, A WILL FOR THE WOODS draws the viewer into a life-affirming and immersive portrait of people embracing their connection to timeless natural cycles. Musician, folk dancer, and psychiatrist Clark Wang prepares for his own green burial, determined that his final resting place will benefit the earth. He has discovered a movement that uses burial to conserve and restore natural areas, forgoing toxic, wasteful funeral practices engineered to preserve the body at the ecosystem’s expense.

Join us following the film for a great discussion with Kathy Long

Event Is open to the public, admission by donation.

    also caitlin doughty, the founder of “the order of the good death” and author of the recently published book “smoke gets in your eyes: and other lessons from the crematory” has a great Q&A on her site/youtube – and someone posted the question about composting our remains and here’s her video answer:
