📰 News we're reading
• What makes natural burial different from traditional funerals? (foxcarolina.com) — Residents in and around Westminster have a unique option for eco-friendly, lower-cost burials at Ramsey Creek Preserve, the nation’s first modern green cemetery in Oconee County. The Campbells’ nature-preserve model avoids embalming and vaults, restores graves with native plants, and includes long-term land protections, while working with most Upstate funeral homes to help families plan natural burials.
