_Burial
When the Body Unites With Earth

Bookmark and Share

This ceremony is free for any Officiant to perform for you,
and can be modified to the desire of the person/people organizing the burial.

(The body of the departed has been placed in the earth and has yet to be covered by the earth)

Whatever your background, whatever your belief, your body returns to the earth; sharing the same fate as any other living thing. Now the body of the departed is along with those of our ancestors and all other life that once lived.

(Each individual attending the burial takes a piece of earth and deposits it on the body of the departed)


It is death that provides the soil in which all plants grow, and from these plants is the air we breath, food for animals, and these animals food to other animals. In short, death provides for life. Let us then celebrate the life lived, and what life this death will provide for.

(all together) "In life comes death, and in death comes life."

(The body of the departed is now fully buried)

It is optional to mark the grave with a tree in memory to express the cycle of life and death - ideally the tree would be of a species the departed was fond of. If a marker with a description is still desired a small engraved boulder or a small pillar can be used.
