​​Green Burial Seminar:  Did you know that 67% of our population would choose green burial if they knew about its existence?.  Let us share with you the why, where and how of green burial and what it means to the people left behind when someone chooses not to use a vault or embalming and instead restore a forest. (For next scheduled speaking event click here)

Thinking Ahead Seminar: In today's life we plan for everything except the one thing that is certain to happen to all of us.  We cannot choose when or even avoid it.  Would you or your group like to know about the benefits of pre-planning and pre-arranging, including how you can save money by acting today?
