Kelly Townsend and Jackie Adamson from Charles F. Snyder Funeral Homes will present a program on their services with an emphasis on Green Burial.

Green Burial, an alternative to traditional embalming or cremation services, has become a growing preference for many persons. Charles F. Snyder is the only funeral service provider in Lancaster County to be Green Burial Certified by the Green Burial Council.

Kelly and Jackie will give an overview of green burials that will include:

What is green burial?

   *Environmental advantages

   *Consistency with PA burial laws

   *Options for public viewings

   *Green burial funeral products

   *Preparation of body

   *Comparative cost

They will also update us on options for pre-arrangements/pre-payments for green burials as well as traditional services.
