Today is Earth Day. So many things you can do on this day to celebrate and give back to the beautiful nature the surrounds us.

🌱 Stay on a trail instead of walking through vegetation.

🌱 Pick up a scrap of garbage and put it in its proper place.

🌱 Plant a native species in your yard to serve as a future pollinator.

🌱 Grab a group of friends to go out and hug those glorious trees.

🌱🌱And how about starting the conversation of literally going green with a natural burial, aqua dissolution, natural organic reduction or burial at sea.

Behind the scenes of creating a shrouding board which is a board underneath a loved one wrapped in a shroud for easier transport. Once non-toxic glue is cured, the screws holding slats in place will be removed and replaced with dowels. This technique is also used alot for a natural wood casket.
