A green cemetery could become an interment option in Central Virginia.
The owners of Panorama Farms are hoping to add a natural burial ground to their property in Albemarle County.
Green burial grounds do not use embalming, have no plastic liners, concrete vaults or exotic wood caskets and do not have plastic memorials. Instead, they use biodegradable containers, and gravesites are marked with flat stones or native plantings.
Chris Murray, a member of the family that owns the property, said they are continuing to try to keep the farm an open space.
âThe question that faces every farm in our situation is, how do you pay for it? We believe and we hope that this will be the answer towards that,â he said. âRevenue from this would enable future generations to pay for what is our stated family mission â to maintain open space.â
