Green Burials: Your Options, Your Wishes, Your Rights

The Chicagoland Green Burial Society is giving an informational presentation on green burials in Illinois.  Topics include:

  • American Cultural Attitudes and Trends Regarding Death and Burial
  • The Body (Who moves it? Why? When? Where? How will it be prepared for the funeral service/burial/cremation?)
  • The Funeral Service
  • The Burial
  • Resources
  • Questions

The presentation is designed to:

  • Raise awareness of one's rights/responsibilities/roles in Illinois
  • Compare and contrast green (and greener) options to "conventional" (current) practices
  • Empower people to thoroughly plan, make their wishes known and identify an estate executor who will honor their plans

You probably already have an accountant for your taxes, come and learn more about the other thing you can't avoid in life!
