The Keweenaw Green Burial Alliance (KGBA)—a non-profit educational and advocacy organization—is presenting a public program focusing on the successes—and failures—of green burial in the Keweenaw and throughout the Upper Peninsula.

This free public presentation takes place at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, November 20 at the Portage Lake District Library in Houghton.

Stephen Jukuri, president of the Keweenaw Green Burial Alliance, will discuss the success of the Chassell Cemetery's green burial initiative, which has become a model for cemeteries throughout Michigan. The presentation will also review which local cemeteries are now offering green burial options, the basics of green burial, and the importance of planning ahead and finding the right funeral director.
