Evergreen Meadow, Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum White Line Tour Stop 25

Stop 25 on the white line tour belongs to our Evergreen Meadow, a peaceful and serene botanical area dedicated to green burials. Also known as natural burial, green burial is an ecologically friendly burial option that is often more affordable than a conventional burial, as it does not require embalming or an outer burial container. In addition to offering green burial throughout traditional burial sections, Bellefontaine Cemetery has established a dedicated green burial area known as Evergreen Meadow. Evergreen Meadow offers contemplative spaces on a sunny hillside and is surrounded by mature trees, drifts of flowering shrubs, and woodland ground cover. Ground maintenance in this area is environmentally sensitive, with limited mechanized maintenance and no use of pesticides or inorganic fertilizers. Unlike green burial in other locations within the cemetery, each of the following is integral to each burial in Evergreen Meadow: 🌿 Only un-embalmed full burials; no cremation in this area 🌿 Outer container must be simple and biodegradable, such as a shroud or simple casket; no vaults or traditional wood or metal caskets permitted 🌿 Graves are natural in appearance and free of individual markers, monuments, or specific plantings.
