Our cemetery is the first contemporary cemetery in Canada that is exclusively green.
The Denman Island Memorial Society was formed in 2009 to create and operate a natural burial cemetery on Denman Island, British Columbia, Canada. For the following six years, the Board of Directors worked with the community to create the Denman Island Natural Burial Cemetery.
Natural burial is the return of a body to the earth as simply as possible. Sometimes called ‘ecological burial’ or ‘green burial,’ it combines eco-friendly interment with land conservation.
