Burial Crew Training
May 15 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Our Burial Crew is a group of special people who assist with the natural burials that take place at Heartwood Preserve.
This is a unique opportunity to help families have a meaningful closure to their loved one’s life.
The Burial Crew primarily helps to carry the deceased from the hearse (or other vehicle) to the grave, set the body over the grave, lower the body by hand (with ropes) into the grave, and finish closing the grave – after the family has participated as much as they want.
We will go over:
- What to Expect
- “Crew” vs “Helper”
- Dress Code
- Day-of Routine
- Safety
- Logistics
- Payment
- Q & A
- Hands on practice of Lifting & Lowering of the deceased
If this sounds like something that you may be interesting in doing, please come and join our staff and
current Crew & Helpers for this training night!
