At the Forest Lawn Group, we’re proud to offer green burial options for families who want to honor their loved ones while caring for the environment. Our green burials use biodegradable materials and avoid harmful chemicals, helping to conserve natural resources, reduce carbon emissions, protect worker health, and restore natural habitats. We adhere to the Green Burial Council’s guidance and certification.
Green burial sections can be found at Forest Hill Cemetery in Attica, NY and Lakeside Cemetery in Hamburg, NY. At Forest Hill Cemetery, Phelps’ Meadow offers a field of natural burial lots with a large shared permanent memorial stone at the foot of the field to record individual names in the meadow. At Lakeside Cemetery, The Oaks offers a natural burial section with a traditional memorial marker for each grave.
