Cascades Natural Burial’s mission is to promote natural burial in the Methow Valley.

Our vision is to establish a conservation burial ground that will preserve open space and native habitat.

Natural burial, also called green burial, is an eco-friendly alternative to conventional funeral practices. In addition to using fewer resources than conventional burial, natural burial can conserve open space, providing a natural environment for the public to enjoy, and allow for the practice of ceremonies that honor our connection to death and to the Earth.

At this time, natural burial is not available in the Methow Valley, but we are happy to help you explore your options if you contact us. Please see the links above for other green body care options.

Being with our family and friends at the end of their lives is a gift. We hope that by encouraging natural burial, we can extend that gift to laying our family and friends to rest in a beautiful, natural setting.
