Lethbridge becomes first municipality in the province offering green burials

The City of Lethbridge has become the first municipality in Alberta to offer a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly burial alternative, called Green Burial. A Green Burial minimizes the impact on the environment by returning a body to the earth, where it can decompose naturally. While it doesn’t look overly green right now, green burials will take place at the Grasslands Green Burial Grounds located in Royal View Memorial Cemetery on the north side of the city.
