Curious about green burial but don't know what or who to ask? Join Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum's Green Burial expert, Gracie Griffin, as she provides a closer look at green burial practices, dispels myths, and explores some exciting and fascinating options available throughout the world. You will learn about the range of "green" funeral and cemetery options available today- like being "planted" in a meadow or amongst the trees, what one can expect when choosing a green service, and the environmental benefits of green burial as compared to cremation and traditional burial. This 90 minute presentation and Q&A will be held in at Hotchkiss Chapel at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum. Green arrow signs will lead you from our main entrance at 4947 W. Florissant Ave. to the chapel.

Come explore our very own botanical garden, Wildwood Valley Gardens. BCA staff horticulturist Dee Van Huss will be on hand to highlight the plant varieties and design of the garden.  We encourage you to bring a picnic snack or lunch as was the custom when Bellefontaine Cemetery was established in 1849. > This event is free, no registration required. > Well behaved dogs on leashes are welcome. > Once you enter the gates, follow the arrows to the tour parking.
