Green options within city of Prince George

I was pleased to speak with Frane, the caretaker of the Prince George cemetery. For the last year they have been developing a proposal for a green burial. This includes no embalming, no metal caskets, and no concrete liner. The possibility of being buried in a shroud without a casket is also being explored. I was impressed with the progressive thinking of the city when it comes to this issue knowing how environmentally damaging traditional funeral practices can be. The hope is that this may become a real option within the next year for Prince George residences. I will continue to monitor this progress and provide updates.
