Snow blankets the boughs of white pines as Black-capped Chickadees, Brown Creepers and Red-breasted Nuthatches call out while flitting from branch to branch. The cacophony of migratory birds are long gone from our mountain ridgeline...

We have grown tremendously over the past two years. The Cemetery has carried out 37 burials and has a community of almost 140 volunteers. Our beautiful labyrinth has become a place for meditation for mourners and visitors alike.

From the time that Vermont Forest Cemetery has been open, we have provided a unique experience of natural burial which not only benefits the environment but helps mourners through the healing process. The response from families who have buried loved ones with us has been overwhelmingly positive and we believe our focus on the participatory model for natural burial has been key to this success.
