Oregon cemetery district to offer green burials

Because of increased interest in natural burials, the Estacada Cemetery District is beginning to offer them.

Oregon cemetery may go private

The public cemetery for Klamath Falls may be sold to private interests, according to this report. The report says the city pays $150,000 annually in maintenance costs and is soliciting bids. Only interest from the $400,000 perpetual-care trust can be spent on maintenance; the principal must be untouched until the cemetery is filled.
