Join Jennie and Dianne on the Ordinary Extraordinary Cemetery podcast as they welcome Mel Bennett, founder of Life Forest cemetery, for a heartwarming and insightful conversation. Mel shares the personal story of how Life Forest was born out of her desire to give her mother a better burial after a long and painful battle with dementia, and how this vision has grown into a revolutionary approach to death care. Life Forest's two locations offer a profound connection with nature, believing that this connection is not just an experience, but a source of healing. As leaders in eco-friendly practices, Life Forest sets a new standard for conservation burials, providing GPS-mapped deeded rights and legal protection under cemetery law. Tune in to learn more about this Ordinary Extraordinary sanctuary for celebrating life and eternal rest, and how Mel's vision is changing the way we think about death and burial.
Be sure to check out the end of this episode on YouTube where you can view the video of Mel's mother and experience the wonderful woman, she was before dementia and death took her from this Earth. https://youtu.be/_400CcKdAfQ?si=F_GiBMGFNv13BNlU
