The Gallery at NCRD is located at 36155 Ninth St. in Nehalem. It is open weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm. Admission is free.
She will talk about everything you want to know about green burial.
Elizabeth Fournier, aka The Green Reaper, will speak at the North Coast Recreation District (NCRD), 36155 9th Street, Nehalem. The presentation will be held in the Gallery Saturday, April 27 from 2:00-4:00; $10 cash at the door.
Every year conventional funerals bury millions of tons of wood, concrete, and metals, as well as millions of gallons of carcinogenic embalming fluid. There is a more environmentally conscious and affordable way, and Elizabeth Fournier, affectionately dubbed the “Green Reaper,” walks you through it. She provides comprehensive and compassionate guidance, covering everything from green burial planning and home funeral basics to legal guidelines and outside-the-box options, such as burials at sea. Fournier points the way to green burial practices that consider both the environmental well-being of the planet and the economic well-being of loved ones.
Elizabeth is the author of The Green Burial Guidebook: Everything You Need to Plan
an Affordable, Environmentally Friendly Burial. She is a member of the Advisory Board for the Green Burial Council, and the owner and operator of Cornerstone Funeral Services in Boring, Oregon.
Elizabeth will have copies of her books available for purchase.

Thursday, April 25 at 6:30 pm
St. Mary-by-the-Sea Parish Hall
275 S. Pacific St.
Rockaway Beach, Oregon
This will be a grassroots meeting, open to all, who believe we have a right to abundant, safe and clean drinking water. If you are interested in citizen involvement regarding the future of the Jetty Creek Watershed and other coastal drinking water sheds, please attend. At the Oregon Coast, many watersheds that provide drinking water to towns, large and small, have been damaged by clearcutting followed by pesticide spraying. Because of industrial forestry practices and climate change, there are now summer water shortages along the Oregon Coast.
Please join us on April 25 (and on the last Thursday of every month) at St. Mary-by-the-Sea to learn about and discuss these important issues.
This will be an “in-person” meeting that will also be on Zoom (email us at the address below) for those unable to attend in person.
North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) invites respectful discussion through a sharing of ideas.
