Natural Path Sanctuary (NPS) Winter Burial Workshop
How does the amazing NPS staff prepare for winter burials?

During the winter season, when the snow blankets the Sanctuary and the cold winds blow, how do we ensure a safe winter burial?

Come join us as we demonstrate the process during a mock winter burial by the NPS staff. We will show you how a body is shrouded*, transported to the burial site and lowered into the ground. We will talk about some of the challenges the weather poses and the measures taken to make a winter burial as smooth as possible to provide a peaceful resting place for your loved ones even during the coldest Wisconsin winters.

Please RSVP to programs@farleycenter.org

Come along for a stroll on the beautiful wooded walking trails located at The Farley Center!

Please check the weather to dress accordingly and bring water as needed. Closed-toe shoes are suggested as we will be walking along dirt trails.
We will walk for approximately an hour, but if others feel up to it, we can extend our walk as necessary.

We will meet about 10 minutes before our walk at the picnic tables located near the BOWA (Bur Oak Welcoming Area) located to the right of the driveway as you pull in.
Please note, this is not a formal tour, but a casual walk throughout The Farley Center grounds.

Looking forward to seeing everyone out there!
