Story on greening of the funeral industry scheduled

The Rev. Kent Shane and parishioner Melinda Madama of First Lutheran Church of Poulsbo, as well as the Rev. Rod Kastelle, ret., member of Faith Lutheran Church of Elma, are featured in my story about the greening of the funeral industry, scheduled for the July issue of The Lutheran.
All share their experiences.
The story looks at some of the green trends baby boomers are demanding from the industry as they make decisions about final disposition of their parents.
These trends are still very new, but include things like basket caskets, and biodegradable urns, foregoing concrete vaults, the cremation alternative alkaline hydrolysis, and new kinds of green cemeteries right here in Washington.
