Description

 Caroline Yongue wants to talk about death, a subject many of us would rather avoid. She’s the founder and director of the Carolina Memorial Sanctuary, a small cemetery offering environmentally-friendly burials in Western North Carolina.  The Sanctuary is grounded in a Buddhist ethos and committed to restoring native ecosystems. It’s also part of a larger project to change how Americans approach death and grief — creating new ways to live with loss, from the ground up.
