Program Summary: Fernwood Cemetery, in northern California, is one of a handful of cemeteries in America which integrates land stewardship into the burial process. The facts are simple: no embalming, no metal caskets, no concrete headstones. Yet Fernwood’s respect for the land fosters a connection between nature, the cycle of life and the memorial of a loved one who has passed.
