The Archdiocese of Chicago has announced the debut of a new “natural burial” option at one of its Chicago-area cemeteries, reportedly the first such Catholic offering in the state and one that officials say will help “honor the dignity of life” while respecting the environment.
Catholics will now have the option of using natural burial plots at St. Michael the Archangel Cemetery, about 25 miles outside of Chicago, the archdiocese said in a press release.
