Herne calls for: forest burial now also in the cemetery at home!

Herne, Deutschland - The discussion about the forest burial in Herne reaches a new highlight! More and more citizens are calling for this form of burial, but the city of Herne has so far blocked the implementation. The city argues with financial concerns and refers to high investments in columbaria and burial chambers in the existing cemeteries. But this is incomprehensible to the Herners, who show a clear preference for forest burials.

an unused potential

The forest cemetery in Herne, which is currently blocked, is ideal for tree burials. Here are centuries -old trees that create a forest -like environment and meet the wishes of the citizens. A forester who is familiar with forest burial reports about an increase in demand for anonymous forest burials. The Herner, whether young or old, want more opportunities to say goodbye to their relatives in nature.

The forests of Count Westerholt in Haltern-Sythen are an attractive alternative for the Herner, but many advocate enabling forest burial right on the front door. By introducing tree burials, the city could not only fulfill the wishes of the citizens, but also open up new sources of income. Time is urgent, because the demand is obvious!
