Alternative funeral/burial options: ‘Green’ Burials

Barbara Peters Smith, an excellent journalist in Sarasota, recently wrote a front-page article for the Sarasota Herald Tribune about the growing popularity of ‘green’ burials.  Such burials are an environmentally-friendly alternative to embalming and cremation.  Some land trusts in Florida have established ‘conservation cemeteries’ which provide families the opportunity to have an earth-friendly burial while supporting the conservation of environmentally sensitive land.  Bach & Jacobs, PA often include funeral preferences in the estate planning documents prepared for clients.  If you are interested in including the concept of green burials in your estate plan, contact Bach & Jacobs, PA to speak with attorneys Fred Jacobs and Sean Byrne, who have a background representing land conservation organizations and can provide you information about this option.  You can read Barbara Peters Smith’s article here: http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20140906/article/140909768
