Back to EpisodesHow To Die Sustainably in Pittsburgh
Description
It's a popular season for cemetery tours, and there are some beautiful and historic burial grounds in the Pittsburgh region. But we're also home to Pennsylvania's first and only fully green cemetery. Host Megan Harris visits Penn Forest Natural Burial Park in Verona to learn how a green burial works, the unique ways friends and family can get involved in the process, and why more people are choosing to go out sustainably.
Thank you to guests Laura Faessel, Deanna Mance, and Thom Wood.
You can learn about upcoming events at Penn Forest — including goat yoga and a forest bathing walk — on their events page. Stay tuned for information about their Day of the Dead ancestral ceremony and Winter Solstice celebration.
