NATURAL BURIALS IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC
WHAT IS NATURAL BURIAL?
Natural burial is a way of caring for our loved ones and also aides in the conservation of natural resources, reduction of carbon emissions, protection of worker health and the preservation of habitat. The process avoids embalming fluids, concrete vaults, and elaborate caskets. Instead, the body is placed in a biodegradable shroud or container and buried directly in the earth, allowing it to decompose naturally.
Highland Meadow will allow families to mourn and take part in the grieving process. It is an intimate and hands-on way to honor your loved ones, surrounded by nature in the serenity of the meadow, returning a body to the earth. At Lafayette Memorial Park & Mausoleum, we are proud to offer this natural burial service to families and individuals across the Fayetteville, NC area. Get in touch with our staff today to learn more about our burial services or to begin the funeral planning process. We are ready to work closely with you and your funeral home.
