A spokesperson for Climate Action Sarnia-Lambton (CASL) says Aamjiwnaang First Nation will soon be home to southwestern Ontario’s first natural burial site.
The First Nation announced recently it’s in the process of preparing a large piece of land, north of Chippewa Crescent, for a new cemetery.
“A portion of that is going to be for natural burial,” said Chief Janelle Nahmabin. “So there will be an option for our community members to be returned to the earth free of toxins.”
With natural burials, there’s also the option of being laid to rest in a biodegradable casket or wrapped in a shroud.
