A peaceful, respectful space for conservation and remembrance: 

this is Back to Ground

Welcome home.  

This is a place where birdsong fills the air.  The smell of wildflowers drifts on the warm breeze, and trees share their cool dappled shade.  Children walk barefoot, dragging sticks through the dirt and stacking rocks to dam up the stream with a splash.  A bench invites us to sit for a moment to watch the swallowtail butterfly dance with the prairie grass, or examine the spider spinning a web. 

This place has shared our deep joys and deeper sorrows.  It has held us as we built families and homes.  It has filled our senses, shared its bounty, and provided the contours to our complicated lives.  

Now, this is a place that welcomes us back to hold us at the end of our labors, allowing us to return our whole selves–the lives we have lived, the work we have done, even the bodies we have inhabited–to the soil we love.  We can come back to this place that gives us peace.  We can return our bodies to it in thanks for what it has given us.  Our families will now be physically connected to the land we love through the gift of ourselves, and they can return any time they wish to visit us and our legacy. 

Welcome as we create a conservation cemetery that is built on the values of sustainability, stewardship, healing, reflection, and sanctuary with nature. There is a place for you here, and we invite you to join us.  

Back to Ground is committed to providing a conservation cemetery that utilizes 

sustainable burial practices and stewards the natural environment while 

nurturing healing, reflection, and sanctuary with nature.
