Animal crossing fans... did you make a graveyard? #animalcrossing #graveyard

Today we had a wonderful first Green Burial Cafe online. There were participants from across Canada, New York, California and even Mexico. So many good subjects came up like memorialization, hybrid cemeteries, burying on your own property, aquamation, over-crowded cemeteries, principles of green burial and hand made caskets, shrouds, & rituals. Join us again on Feb 24th 2021 at noon AST. Go to Green Burial Nova Scotia FB page and sign up for information about our Cafes. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87392711263... Password: Green

Such bravery to write it, such immense courage to do this work every day. "We would learn to live with airlessness; we would learn to do the work while holding our breath."
