The United Church will host a screening of the short documentary, "From Earth to Earth, The Lost Art of Dying in America" presented by Vermont Forest Cemetery on Thursday, July 18 at 6:00 pm. This 20 minute short documentary showcases the beauty and significance of natural burial. It explores the legalization of natural burial in Vermont and the opening and first burial at its first natural burial ground, Vermont Forest Cemetery, alongside one woman's journey to find her "forever home" at Greensprings Natural Burial Preserve, the 3rd oldest natural burial ground in the United States.

Following the screening there will be a question and answer session, featuring Founder and Head Cemeterian Michelle Hogle Acciavatti. Come witness how Vermont Forest Cemetery is preserving the environment, honoring loved ones, and creating a legacy of sustainability.

Donations to Vermont Forest Cemetery are encouraged.
