Why are bodies called “stiffs”? I don’t know either, because they aren’t! That’s where shroud boards come in! Learn the ins and outs of the simple design, construction and use of this essential shroud burial device.

** Mock Burial Workshop

“Participants have the opportunity to learn what the green burial process entails by participating in a simulated version of it. This workshop includes Q&A with a Natural Path Sanctuary Cemetarian, pallbearing and even lowering “dead” weight into a grave.”

This event is free but please RSVP to programs@farleycenter.org
