On Tuesday, February 3 from 7 to 8:30 PM, join Greater Brookland Intergenerational Village for an informative and empowering conversation on green and ecological funeral options with Lily, co-founder of Willow Green Funerals and former Director of Burials at Historic Congressional Cemetery. With more than a decade of experience serving families across DC, Maryland, and Virginia, Lily brings a compassionate, practical perspective from both the funeral home and cemetery sides of care.
Lily will share an overview of green burial practices, emerging Earth-friendly options coming to our region—including water cremation and soil transformation—and practical steps families can take to feel more informed and prepared. Whether your values lean toward natural burial, home vigils, or more traditional services, this session will help you understand what’s possible and how to advocate for choices that feel right for you and your loved ones.
