A Green Cemetery -

A green burial is an ecofriendly and cost-effective alternative to a traditional funeral, and significantly reduces the impact on the environment. Much of what constitutes a green burial was once standard practice in this country, not the exception. At Cool Spring, it means we return the body to the earth as simply as possible.

Grave markers, if desired, are engraved using local river stones and placed over the burial site. Plastic flowers and other ornaments are prohibited in the cemetery.

Cool Spring Natural Cemetery is not only located on sacred ground, and has also been consecrated as a Roman Catholic Cemetery, but where people of all faiths and beliefs are welcome to be buried.

Cool Spring Natural Cemetery is maintained and managed by the Cistercian Monks of the Holy Cross Abbey where, for over sixty years, monks have lived on land made sacred by their lives of worship, prayer, and hospitality offered to all who visit. The cemetery thus constitutes a tangible extension of the monks' life of worship, prayer, and their long tradition of hospitality.
