Feldman Memorial

🌿 On Earth Day, we want you to know about options that allow people to care for their bodies while also caring for the Earth!

In Colorado, we’re fortunate to have a number of green death care options that align with personal values and ecological responsibility.

✨ ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Green Burial – No embalming, biodegradable caskets, and natural burial grounds.

Water Cremation (Alkaline Hydrolysis) – Uses water and alkali instead of fire, with significantly less environmental impact.

Natural Organic Reduction (Human Composting) – A gentle, soil-creating process now legal in Colorado, returning the body to the earth in a meaningful way.

💬 We can choose paths that reflect our care for the planet and the people we leave behind.

An example of how NOT to live (and die)!

Use their person’s name, share your memories of their person, sit next to them quietly. You cannot “fix” the grief but you CAN accompany them in it!

My sister’s death was hard enough. The silence afterwards was unbearable Writer Lynne Reeves Griffin's sister, Cheryl, died by su***de seven years ago. When people become uncomfortable at any mention of my sister, she writes, I feel excluded from the mourning process.
