It's a lovely day to come across a special burial plot. Love, heartfelt time and effort is what we see at Purissima. I am always in awe when I tour the cemetery and come across such love.

We picked our plots, it's great to see the dot on the map knowing that I'm doing the responsible thing and getting it set up the way I want. I like the way this neighbor grave was outlined in rocks so have started collecting some fossilized rocks from the beach, they're actually from the Purisima Formation, geology dated to the Miocene, 20 million years back. Cool.

Green burial, also known as natural burial or eco-friendly burial, is a type of funeral that emphasizes simplicity and sustainability. It typically requires far fewer resources for the care of the body and skips a number of traditional funeral practices such as embalming and using a concrete vault. Instead, the body is usually buried in a biodegradable casket or shroud without a grave liner or vault.
