The cost of a space in a Memorial Ecosystmems preserve will be about what you would expect to pay for a burial space in an urban area. That is where the cost similarities begin and end. Most cemeteries require leak proof vaults, durable caskets, and expensive grave markers. Elaborate ceremonies can cost thousands of more dollars more. Memorial Ecosystems does not require vaults and durable caskets.
Biodegradable caskets are much less expensive than durable ones.
A lot of people are unaware that because of public health concerns, even cremation requires a simple casket. These same caskets can be used for burial. Simple pine boxes are also much less expensive than average. Memorial Ecosystems is currently searching for a company that can guarantee that the wood and paper used to make the caskets comes from ecologically sustainable sources. Our preserves will not create giant parking lots, and some of our more sensitive burial areas will not allow large ceremonies at grave side.
