3. Cemeteries in NS With Green Burial Options    

"Currently, only one cemetery, Sunrise Park Interfaith Cemetery in Hatchett Lake, near Halifax, NS, holds official certification from the Green Burial Society of Canada, ensuring adherence to recognized standards for environmentally sustainable burial practices. While other cemeteries may claim to offer green burial options, these are self-designated and not certified by the Green Burial Society of Canada. We encourage individuals to verify the credentials and practices of any cemetery to ensure they align with their values and expectations for green burial."
