About El Dorado Green Burial

My Name is Gretchen
Hello,
I am so happy you came to visit my website. I have lived in El Dorado County for over 25 years and am so honored at this time in my life to be able to offer my community natural burial. With a background working for the Green Burial Council which educates and certifies natural, hybrid and conservation cemeteries, and as a founding committee member for the Global Green Burial Alliance, I have a great love for cemeteries and all the the things you can do regarding them. I also have experienced several of my own deep losses and understand the challenge of death and loss. This has given me a deep desire and motivation to help others navigate caring for their loved ones final disposition in a meaningful way and in a way they would like. In 2020 I attended Final Passages Death Doula course in Sebastopol Ca so that I could help families navigate the system and create funerals that felt good to them. I believe that even in times of difficulty, the farewell can be profoundly beautiful and filled with love. The graveside burials I create are meaningful, creative, and filled with special touches. It is my deepest honor to serve families during this difficult and often unfamiliar time. Lets talk about what we can do to celebrate the life of your loved one and provide a beautiful burial filled with meaning and love.
It would be my pleasure to meet and work with you,
Sincerely,
Gretchen Spletzer
