Larkspur Conservation - Natural Burial in Tennessee on a Nature Preserve 

Thanks for the question! Here’s what The folks at Larkspur sent me: This is a good question and thank you for asking it. In Tennessee and every other state in the US natural burial is the historic practice. When an organization like Larkspur Conservation begins to save land they work with local jurisdictions to do so. They set aside funds from each burial to save more land, creating a snowball in land conservation. Larkspur is lead by a licensed funeral director with many years of experience and they have also partnered with the global leader in land conservation. There is no law requiring embalming or the use of burial vaults in the US. These practices have actually been created and perpetuated by local funeral communities but not by law. These practices are happening all around you now (and historically) and have only been brought to the public as an option by nonprofit conservation organizations like Larkspur. Thanks for the question again!

@@Ten28film This is a tremendous human movement. Thank you for your video. I have explored options and I was surprised at how many open, legal, and earth based options there are and all you have to do is create what you want and go from there. Don't just assume something is impossible. I was able to create a very earth based funeral from my own desires.

Thank you for your words.
