Green Burial WagonSince today’s A Good Goodbye Radio show is about the green burial documentary A Will for the Woods, here’s a short video about green burial products, filmed at the recent ICCFA convention and expo.

Esmerelda Kent was a costume designer in Hollywood, until she saw the TV show Six Feet Under. It prompted her to make a career change, and she went into the death care industry – but focused on green burial. Her first shroud was featured in the show, with a green burial at the end of the series.

Now she has branched out, offering burial shrouds, fragrant oil for anointing the dead, and this year she started offering custom-made burial wagons. Check it out in this YouTube video:
