Yes, your family can hold a memorial service, participate in the spreading of the ashes and visit anytime afterwards.

If you would like guidance and support to create a memorial ceremony for a loved one, a tree-planting ceremony, or a way to honor a special occasion with family and friends at Earth Sanctuary, we have a local interfaith minister and celebrant who can help you craft a ceremony and/or be there to officiate for you if needed.

Lucinda Herring has helped families and communities create meaningful ceremonies for life and death thresholds for over twenty-five years. She is dedicated to helping others connect with nature, land and the earth, as a source of comfort, inspiration and guidance at times of transition and change. In her work as a minister, home funeral and natural burial guide/consultant and a “green” licensed funeral director in Washington State, Lucinda is skilled in helping those who are grieving the loss of a loved one find authentic and healing ways to say good-bye.

Lucinda recently wrote this book: Reimagining Death: Stories and Practical Wisdom for Home Funerals and Green Burials: Learn more.
