Oregon Memorial Association is excited to announce that Elizabeth Fournier, author and natural burial expert, of Cornerstone Funeral Services will be our guest speaker at our 60th Annual Meeting on September 18 at 2pm! Elizabeth’s presentation will highlight the history of green burials and discuss why natural burials are on the rise.

“We have found that various sorts of natural burial options are increasingly popular due to a collective, heightened consciousness. People aren't interested so much in how they will be remembered, but rather how they can continue to give back. Even in death. Green burials are obviously kinder to the environment and a more natural way to go. This method of disposition provides a habitat for native plants, wildlife and birds to live and flourish.”

                  
         Join us as we celebrate OMA’s successes and accomplishments over the past six decades!
