A groundbreaker — literally — in reviving the ancient practice of natural burial, Larkspur Conservation was created with the purchase of 112 acres of protected land at Taylor Hollow in 2017 and opened to the public for natural burial in 2018. Graves on the now-161-acre property in Sumner County are dug for the burials (embalming is forbidden), with vaults replaced by simple shrouds or other biodegradable caskets. Families and friends participate however they wish, with sites marked by native stones flat to the earth. The lush meadows, dense woodlands and ever-growing landscapes of Larkspur invite contemplative walking, reflective pause, celebration of life, peaceful transitions and recognition of heaven on earth.Â
