Glendale Memorial Nature Preserve office

Green burial is a natural, environmentally responsible way of laying loved ones to rest that honors life, land, and legacy. It allows the body to return gently to the earth using biodegradable materials and natural processes, without embalming, vaults, or heavy metal caskets. This approach supports soil health, native plants, and the natural cycle of life.

Caskets are not required at Glendale Memorial Nature Preserve. A simple shroud, blanket, or king-size quilt works just as well. Hand-crafted caskets are available from Glendale Enterprises, a nearby sawmill that produces caskets at cost or near cost.

For human burials, a copy of one of the following is required: the burial transit permit (if death occurs in Florida) or a death certificate (if death occurs outside of Florida). The name and dates of birth and death are needed for markers.

A flat natural stone with a maximum of 4 square feet (2 feet x 2 feet) is acceptable and can be inscribed. Artificial flowers, vases, or other decorations placed on gravesites will be removed to help maintain the natural fauna and flora on the preserve.

Payment can be made with cash, bank cashier's check, or money order. Monetary contributions to the GMNP Cemetery Fund are always appreciated.
