Reviews for Carolina Memorial Sanctuary

Suzanne Metze — This is where my Mother wants to be buried, organically. Like the Bible says ashes to ashes, dust to dust. A person here is laid to rest in a very simple organic cotton shroud. Nothing the will not break down into organic matter is allowed.

You may have a service of your choice, but remember that... Read more it's outside in a very large field. They cut an area large enough for as many people that you are expecting and supply chairs and water if it's hot.

The attendees help to cover the shrouded body and encourage the friends and family to participate. You can place anything organic in the gravesite, such as flowers, crystals,, etc.

You can spend as much time as you would like in the sanctuary, not a cemetery! Gorgeous flowers, birds and NC scenery. Beautiful resting place.

The photo below is an example of one our our beloved family pets, who is buried here. Headstones are allowed. Read less

Jacqui Ackerman — What an amazing place, run by the most fantastic people! We were attracted to the idea of a green burial, and the "unconventional" park-like setting was ideal.
