Pete McQuillin is poring his passion into

friendly burial options and pursuing land
conservation through the establishment of a
green cemetery in Western Pennsylvania.
Respecting our environment is a cornerstone

discuss how spirituality, life, and death are
connected and why natural or green burials
make the most sense as we return to the earth.
