Natural Path Sanctuary/Gunderson – Fitchburg Senior Center/Green Burial Presentation

Green Burials – December 7, 2022
Learn from Shedd Farley of Natural Path Sanctuary, Nickie Gard and Melissa Theisen of Gunderson Funeral & Cremation Care about burial options that emphasize simplicity and environmental sustainability. Shedd will share about his passion for green burials and Natural Path Sanctuary, a nature preserve burial ground also known as a green cemetery. Natural Path Sanctuary is located in Verona and is the first cemetery in Dane County, WI, that exclusively follows natural/green burial practices—no embalming, no vaults and only biodegradable containers and shrouds are allowed. It offers a natural and traditional alternative to modern-day burials.

Fall Walk at The Farley Center

10/26/22

Let’s enjoy a casual walk around The Farley Center to enjoy the fall colors and each other’s company! Please dress accordingly, as the weather may be chilly. We will walk for approximately an hour, but if others feel up to it, we can extend it as necessary.

This is not a formal tour, but a casual walk amongst friends.

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there!

Hosted by: Katrina Krueger, Linda & Gene Farley Center for Peace, Justice and Sustainability and Farley Center Walking Club
