The Forest Conservation Burial Ground provides a space to reconnect our experience of life and death with land conservation.
We acknowledge that the Shasta, Upland Takelma, Latgawa and Athabaskan peoples stewarded these lands for millennia. We also acknowledge the intergenerational trauma caused by their forcible removal from their ancestral lands. The people whose ancestors lived on this land are now citizens of The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians, The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, or The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde.
Natural or green burial is a return to simple, non-toxic burials designed to support the reunion of human bodies with nature.
We are located within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southern Oregon, just outside of the city of Ashland.
Natural burial of companion animals or cremated remains returns these beloved family members to the earth in simplicity and dignity.
The Forest supports funeral services and ceremonies that are intimate and personalized.
Family and friends are invited to be active participants, not solely attendees.
People of all faiths, identities, and walks of life come together in shared honoring of the experiences we hold together, and shared reverence for the space that holds us.
The dedicated natural burial grounds are meant to be shared with the living.
