The green burial movement seeks to extend renewal to the grave and beyond.

At Calvin you learn to be lifelong agents of renewal, but conventional end-of-life practices are not consistent with this mission. The green burial movement seeks to extend renewal to the grave and beyond. This movement is quickly growing in America and is an exciting new tool for conservation and building a healthy relationship with nature.
